ケーリー・ブレア輸送媒体 is a microbiological transport medium widely used to preserve and transport stool and rectal swab specimens containing suspected enteric pathogens. It helps maintain the viability of microorganisms during the time between specimen collection and laboratory testing.
The Cary–Blair formulation is recognized as a suitable transport medium for enteric bacteria and has a long history of use in clinical microbiology. The FDA’s Bacteriological Analytical Manual identifies Cary–Blair as medium M31 and describes its formulation as a semisolid medium with an alkaline pH.
Cary–Blair transport medium is designed primarily for specimen preservation and transportation, rather than promoting extensive bacterial growth.
Its semisolid formulation helps maintain the collected specimen during transportation while limiting changes that could affect subsequent microbiological examination.
Cary–Blair is commonly associated with enteric pathogens such as:
The exact suitability depends on the target organism and laboratory testing method.
Cary–Blair transport medium is primarily used for the preservation and transportation of specimens intended for bacteriological examination, especially specimens associated with gastrointestinal infections.
Common applications include:
Several characteristics make Cary–Blair useful for enteric specimen transportation:
あ Cary–Blair transport medium with swab combines specimen collection and transportation in one convenient system.
A typical workflow is:
This integrated design can help simplify specimen management and reduce the number of separate components required during collection.
When sourcing Cary–Blair transport medium for clinical or microbiological applications, buyers should evaluate more than the medium formulation alone.
Consider the following factors:
Check the materials, medium formulation, 不妊, packaging integrity, 貯蔵寿命, and quality-control procedures.
The swab should be appropriate for the intended specimen and downstream testing procedure. Different swab materials may have different characteristics, so the appropriate option should be selected according to the intended application.
For medical and diagnostic applications, buyers should review the supplier’s applicable certifications and quality-management systems.
