Comparison of MycoPrep and the new MYCO-TB kit: rapid and efficient digestion and decontamination of respiratory specimens for the detection of Mycobacteria.

In conclusion, the MYCO-TB kit proved to be effective for the rapid digestion and decontamination of respiratory materials for the detection of Mycobacteria, making it possible to reduce the manual skills required and lower the risk of contamination. Longer decontamination time could be used for samples with a high level of contamination, such as those from cystic fibrosis patients. PMID: 32334488 [PubMed - in process]
