[ETM] resulted in enhanced detection of C. difficile Toxin-A when compared to stool specimens received via routine transport mechanisms. We recommend the use of Alpha-Tec Systems’ ETM when receipt of the specimen in the laboratory is expected to be greater than two-hours after collection.

The contamination rate for the specimens using in-house reagents at 4% NaOH was 32%. The contamination rate for the Alpha-Tec reagents was much lower at 5.6% for the same specimens.

When compared to the results achieved using the MycoPrep^TM kit, the pH control provided by Alpha-Tec recovered mycobacteria from samples that would have otherwise been missed and reduced time to growth in correlated positive samples suggesting overall greater recovery of mycobacteria from patient samples.
