Product Overview

The SnotBuster™ (also known as SLSolution™) system combines the Copan invented Sputum Dipper™ with a ready to use mucolytic agent in a vacuum sealed plastic tube. Easily transfer sputum specimens using the unique drill-shaped tool (the Sputum Dipper™) and liquefy the sample for easy processing and more consistent specimen planting and streaking.

 

SnotBuster™ Sputum Liquefying System:

  • Mucolytic agent liquifies sputum samples
  • Innovative Sputum Dipper collects varying sample viscosities
  • Avoids wasted reagents

 

Downstream Applications include: 

  • Anaerobic Culture
  • Aerobic Culture
  • Molecular assays
  • Gram stain

SnotBuster™ liqufies even the most viscus samples without affecting morphology, growth or microscopic staining.

Features

Simplified sample processing

Simplify handling of challenging sputum specimens using the efficient Sputum Dipper™ tool that handles all types of sputum viscosity from liquid to very tenacious sputum samples.

Cost effective alternative

Minimize reagent waste and save cost by avoiding large reagent batch mixing. Tubes of reagent are ready to mix with sputum sample with no need for re-hydration of powder or dilution of liquid concentrate.

Improves Sample Consistency

SLSolution™ allows for easier more consistent and reproducible specimen planting and streaking.

Automation-Ready

Sputum samples are easily managed on automated specimen processors, minimizing manual handling and maximizing investment in automation

Easy and Efficient Handling of Challenging Specimens

Unique drill-shaped Sputum Dipper™, allows for easy and efficient transfer of even the most viscous sputum specimens. Coupled with SnotBuster™ reagent, this system liquefies the sample for easy processing without affecting the morphology, growth, or microscopic staining and appearance of pathogens.

Minimize Reagent Waste and Save Cost

The single use system eliminates the need for the laboratory to make their own reagents for liquifying sputum, saving cost and avoiding waste. Tubes of reagent are provided ready to mix with sputum samples, without the need for re-hydration of powder or dilution of liquid concentrate.
