NPC-67™ Neutralization Buffer is an effective replacement for the Phosphate Buffered Saline or M/15 buffer commonly used to neutralize the AFB digestion and decontamination process. Unlike these buffers NPC-67™ rapidly neutralizes the decontamination process and preserves as many viable mycobacteria as possible. NPC-67™ will not interfere with any diagnostic protocols including molecular diagnostics.

XPR-plus™ Neutralizing Buffer replaces M/15 Phosphate Buffer providing for rapid buffering of the specimen following the decontamination procedure. Rapid neutralization of the NaOH by
XPR-plus™ Buffer allows increased survival of the mycobacterial organisms and assures the proper pH of the specimen during the centrifugation / concentration procedure. In order to achieve a very tight pH required by automated rapid growth detection systems, the XPR-plus™ buffered pellet must be followed with the addition of 1.5 to 2.0ml of Pellet Resuspension Buffer.
