device to preserve and stabilize relative abundances of microbial nucleic acids in clinical samples |
| Definition |
A device to preserve and stabilize relative abundances of microbial nucleic acids in clinical samples is a device that consists of a container and reagents intended to stabilize microbial nucleic acids for the subsequent assessment of the relative abundance of microbial nucleic acids (i.e., microbiome) in human specimens by an assay validated for use with the device. The device may also be indicated for sample collection. The device is not intended for preserving morphology or viability of microorganisms. |
| Physical State |
Liquid media. |
| Technical Method |
Media stores and stabilizes microbial nucleic acids, and also preserves relative abundances of microorganisms. |
| Target Area |
Human samples. |
