IDK® TurbiTUBE® stool sample preparation system for turbidimetric assays

Stool samples can be extracted directly and efficiently using the IDK TurbiTUBE, which allows easy, clean and precise preparation of sample extracts. The tube contains 1.5 ml of IDK stool extraction buffer, creating a constant dilution of 1:100 when the 15 mg stool sample is added using the precise sampling stick. The IDK TurbiTUBE can be loaded directly onto many analysers. This system enables the determination of three parameters from one single stool sample extract using IDK’s turbidimetric assays (calprotectin, pancreatic elastase and haemoglobin), saving time and money. Stool extracts are stable for up to 7 days at 2-8 °C.
