About InActiv Blue®
What is InActiv Blue®
InActiv Blue® is a CE-IVD marked, virus inactivating and DNA/RNA stabilizing transport medium for molecular analyses including RT-qPCR. The medium is perfect for preservation of (naso)pharyngeal swabs and saliva before testing.
Key Features
– Perfect for preservation of nasal/throat/nasopharyngeal swabs and saliva
– Complete inactivation of SARS-CoV-2 within 1 minute;
also effective inactivation of vaccinia virus, norovirus, parvovirus, …
– Safe and stable preservation of DNA/RNA up to 30 days at room temperature
– No cold chain required
– Blue dye as pipetting control
– Independent validation with a range of common RT-qPCR platforms
– CE-IVD marked
– Mucolitic properties to reduce viscosity in mucus rich samples
– Production and testing of each batch according to the highest quality standards in ISO certified labs
InActiv Blue® is the CE-IVD aplication of our DNA/RNA DefendTM buffer
Innovative saliva collector
Blue CollectTM
Blue CollectTM is our CE-IVD marked device for straightforward and patient-friendly saliva collection for downstream laboratory analyses.
Key features
- Simple device to collect saliva, also for children (+5 years)
- Convenient design for self sampling
- Easy visualisation of the required saliva volume due to transparent collector
- Inert material: no inhibition of RT-qPCR
- Ideal for large scale screening purposes
- Only small volume of 1.3 ml of saliva needed
- When used in conjunction with InActiv Blue® containing tubes, viscosity of saliva is greatly reduced
Did you know that 90% of patients prefer saliva collection with one of our receptacles instead of a nasopharyngeal swab for testing?
