TF-Transit Tube is a self-contained system for the collection and transport of Tritrichomonas foetus from bovine preputial or vaginal samples. The proprietary medium is selective for Trichomonas, while inhibiting the growth of other organisms. The TF-Transit Tube is designed to facilitate the identification of T. foetus with PCR technology by providing:

  • Easy, field-sample inoculation
  • Improved Trichomonas selectivity with our proprietary “Gold Standard” TF medium
  • Safe transport and preservation of the specimen
  • DNA extraction and PCR compatible
  • Suppression of yeast and bacteria in the sample
  • Temperature range 18-25°C
  • Shelf Life: 12 months

Transit Tube is for veterinary specimen transport to be used in conjunction with nucleic acid-based testing, i.e. PCR. Consult your local (e.g., State Department of Agriculture) regulations before use. Some states require that only certified veterinarians collect and submit bovine TF sample.
