BD BBL™ Specimen Collection and Processing


BD BBL™ Specimen Collection and Processing
Fast, Easy Specimen Preparation
BBL™ MycoPrep™ System is the convenient all-inclusive alternative to traditional reagent prepa­ra­tion, providing one of the most widely used CDC-recommended formulations for effective mycobacterial specimen processing.

Less Mess, More Productivity
With the BBL MycoPrep System, a simple snap and gentle shake are all it takes to activate the NALC-NaOH reagent. Then, you simply open the vial and pour into the specimen tube as needed. Unlike other digestion/decontamination methods, the BBL MycoPrep System features:
  • No reconstituting
  • No weighing
  • No messy mixing
  • No complicated inventory required
The BBL MycoPrep System saves material, time and labor. It’s faster and easier to use than both in-lab preparations and typical TB base digestant/ NALC System methods. The BBL MycoPrep System stores at room temperature and, once activated, remains stable for up to 24 hours.
The BBL MycoPrep System comes complete with pre-measured packets of powdered phosphate buffer.
