The swab should be transported dry in the transportation tube supplied. Clearview Chlamydia MF is an antigen detection diagnostic test for Chlamydia trachomatis so it is not essential for the organisms to remain viable. Transport media may interfere with the test so should not be used. If the endocervical swab is not to be tested within 1 day it may be stored at 2-8oC for up to 5 days but cannot be frozen.
