Beads in Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS)

Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) with Beads is an isotonic diluent for the maximum recovery of mycobacteria.
The low nutritional content of the diluent prevents organism multiplication in the sample for a minimum of one hour.
Sodium chloride maintains the osmotic balance and the beads help to separate mycobacteria cell clumps.
