UBM 1mL Purple Cap Tube 12x80mm ST Blk

Copan's UBM^TM Universal Molecular Medium is specifically designed for the safe collection, transport and preservation of clinical specimens intended for molecular diagnostics. Featuring a guanidine-free formulation, UBM^TM effectively inactivates viruses, bacteria and yeasts while preserving the integrity of both DNA and RNA, ensuring reliable downstream molecular testing. Developed to support modern molecular workflows, UBM^TM helps protect laboratory personnel through pathogen inactivation while maintaining sample quality throughout transport and storage. The medium provides up to 28 days of nucleic acid stability at room temperature, reducing the need for cold-chain logistics and offering greater flexibility for sample transport and processing. Performance studies have demonstrated greater than a 3 log₁₀ reduction in viral viability following a 10-minute incubation at room temperature, while maintaining stable molecular detection performance across multiple diagnostic platforms. With no guanidine salts, broad compatibility with molecular testing systems and a 12-month shelf life, UBM^TM is an ideal solution for laboratories seeking a safe, reliable and efficient molecular transport medium.
