Colistin resistance target genes include MCR-1, MCR-2, MCR-3, MCR-4, and MCR-5. The Streck ARM-D Kits are comprehensive, including targets for ampCs, as well as ESBLs. Streck ARM-D Kits are for Research Use Only. Not for Use in Diagnostic Procedures.

RNA Complete BCTTM is a direct draw whole blood collection tube that stabilizes the draw time concentration of exosomes and cell-free RNA. RNA Complete BCT prevents the release of exosomes from red and white blood cells and maintains cell-free RNA concentration for up to 7 days at room temperature, allowing convenient sample collection, transport and storage. RNA Complete BCT is for Research Use Only. Not for Use in Diagnostic Procedures.
