According to current World Health Organization recommendations, tuberculosis samples should be transported under cold-chain conditions (2-8°C) and processed within 24-48 hours, which is an unrealistic situation in most of the health facilities in Mozambique. This paper evaluates OMNIgene.SPUTUM, a new tool that maintains the quality of samples without cold-chain transport.
