BUFFERED GLYCEROL SALINE BASE

Description

Specimens which can?t be processed immediately after collection, or those which need to be sent to a distant reference laboratory, should be properly preserved to maintain the viability of the specimens. In general, most specimens should be processed in the laboratory within 1 to 2 hours after collection. Buffered Glycerol Saline Base was first reported by Teague and Clurman and later modified by Sachs. Buffered Glycerol Saline is used for collection and transportation of faecal specimens.
