1.0 BACKGROUND

This requirement is in support of the African Swine Fever (ASF) and High Path Avian Influenza outbreaks.

2.0 OBJECTIVE

The objective of this acquisition is to purchase Item Prime Store MTM (molecular transport media) is specifically designed to safely inactivate pathogenic samples whilst preserving and stabilizing the released DNA and RNA. It was designed to rapidly inactivate viruses including high consequence veterinary pathogens (including ASF and CSFv,) within the sample and stabilize the RNA and DNA to provide safer and more efficient workflow for molecular testing and sequencing. Additionally, benefit is that cold chain is not needed for transportation from collection to the laboratory. It disrupts/lyses lipid membranes, destroys proteins and enzymes, inactivates nucleases and proteases, inactivates infectious biological pathogens including viruses, and preserves and stabilizes ‘naked’ RNA/DNA at elevated temperatures which is extremely important for molecular diagnostics which we currently employ for the current ASF outbreak/testing n Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic., This kit is needed and is the primary sample collection tube for HPAI and this kit will help detection of active infections with ASFV isolates of varying virulence.
