SAFER™
Accurate testing is dependent on sampling quality and not the least, sample integrity. Proper storage and transport conditions ensure that samples remain viable for testing upon reaching the testing laboratory.
SAFER™ features a proprietary formula of transport medium that preserves viral ribonucleic acids (RNA) at room temperature (15 – 30 °C) for up to a week, without the need for chilling. This removes the constraint of strict shipping conditions at low temperatures which may not be readily available. SAFER™ makes testing possible and more convenient to previously inaccessible areas, expanding the reach of healthcare.
The SAFER™ Stabilization Fluid also inactivates the SARS-CoV-2 virus within 45 seconds, without the use of guanidine, making specimen collection safer and less risky for healthcare personnel and the community.
