187 STABILIZATION OF SPECIMENS FOR MICROBIAL ANALYSIS ABSTRACT The improvement of specimen quality for microbial analysis is addressed by the present invention which discloses a chemical composition for use in a method and apparatus for transporting a specimen suspected to contain microorganisms of interest to a laboratory for analysis and improved methods of analysis. An improved method and apparatus for detecting microbial pathogens in a sample body fluid is disclosed which comprises by mixing the sample body fluid with an antimicrobial factor deactivating agent and improver of microbial quantitative integrity within the sample body fluid after it has been collected and before the microbial pathogens are analyzed. An article useful in the concentration of microbial pathogens from a sample fluid and useful in practicing the method of the subject invention is further disclosed. The method and apparatus can be utilized on all types of aqueous specimens and specimens which may be extracted in aqueous solution for analysis of microorganisms therein.
