The BioSherpa™ Specimen Transport System(STS) dramatically increases the chance that a culture will identify a causative pathogen, even when the patient is on antibiotics that traditionally yield negative culture results.

The BioSherpa™ Specimen Transport System (STS) Solution

  • Biosherpa™ STS reintroduces the lost art of bedside culture by enabling practitioners to collect samples directly into our culture medium, with minimal to no changes to current workflows, enhancing the chance that fragile pathogens will be isolated.

  • BioSherpa™ STS is intended for nonliquid cultures including infected lung, gastric, wound, bone, and sinus sources.

  • BioSherpa™ STS chemically and mechanically releases trapped organisms from native biofilms even when the patient has been given effective antibiotic therapy.

  • Biosherpa™ STS also works with automatic plating systems with no change in workflow. In fact, all culturing workflows are simplified since the sample arrives already homogenized.

  • Biosherpa™ STS, a homogenizing low viscosity solution, increases the chance that the lab will identify the infectious agent.
