Long-term viability of stored mycoplasmas and ureaplasmas.

All of five lyophilised cultures of Mycoplasma orale kept for 23 years at room temperature were still viable, as were all but one of 12 lyophilised cultures of six Mycoplasma spp. that had been stored for 18-22 years at 4 degrees C. Similarly, 11 of 13 lyophilised ureaplasma cultures were viable after 8-22 years at 4 degrees C; the titre of organisms in the viable cultures had diminished no mor...

Evaluation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis viability in OMNIgene-SPUTUM reagent upon multi-day transport at ambient temperature

BACKGROUND Maintaining the quality of clinical specimens for tuberculosis (TB) testing is a major challenge in many high TB burden-limited resources countries. Sample referral systems in low and middle income countries are often weak and the maintenance of the cold-chain challenging and very costly for TB programs. The development of transport media allowing the preservation of samples without ...

Live Pups from Evaporatively Dried Mouse Sperm Stored at Ambient Temperature for up to 2 Years

The purpose of this study is to develop a mouse sperm preservation method based on evaporative drying. Mouse sperm were evaporatively dried and stored at 4°C and ambient temperature for 3 months to 2 years. Upon rehydration, a single sperm was injected into a mature oocyte to develop into a blastocyst after culture or a live birth after embryo transfer to a recipient female. For the samples sto...
