The Improved AFB Process
NAC-PAC® EA3 is the simple way to standardize specimen processing for AFB diagnostics and is now available with either NALC tablets or powder in a flip-top vial. The pre-aliquoted reagents are ready-to-use in one convenient tray, and proven to have a higher Mycobacteria recovery rate than conventional preparation methodologies.1
Precise pH Control
Significantly reducing breakthrough contamination rates takes a rigid control of sample pH throughout the entire process. The NAC-PAC EA3 system utilizes NAC-PAC® RED and NPC-67® to provide a visual color-change indication of a neutral pH following decontamination, and PRB brings the sample to a tightly controlled pH, optimal for culturing and diagnostics.
Your Choice
Now you can choose between the traditional NALC powder or NALC tablets. Each NALC tablet contains all of the N-acetyl-L-cysteine necessary to process an individual patient sample. Use the NALC powder to process multiple specimens. This flexibility allows you to optimize your reagent usage.
