Nahibu: presentation of the prevention kit

The Nahibu gut microbiota analysis kit.

The Nahibu kit is a fecal sample collection kit that can be used at home without any medical intervention. The contents of the kit and the collection method are described in a user manual provided in the Nahibu kit box. The kit consists of three items:

A tube:

A tube with a screw cap. This is the tube used to collect the sample. A plastic spoon is attached to the lid, allowing approximately 1g of stool to be collected (the amount needed for sequencing). At the bottom of the tube are 4 ml of DNA stabilizer. This stabilizer ensures that the sample is properly preserved at room temperature.
It inactivates the viral load and limits the proliferation of fungi and bacteria.

Feces Catcher:

The Feces Catcher (Stool Trap) is a hygienic, easy-to-use, biodegradable stool sample collection device consisting of a disposable piece of paper that is placed on the toilet seat. Instructions are printed directly on each stool catcher for ease of use. By placing the Feces Catcher on the toilet seat,
the sample is protected from possible sources of contamination, such as residual bleach, urine, etc.

Shuttlepuch:

Shuttlepuch is a plastic pouch containing absorbent paper. It allows the tube to be transported safely and securely. Once closed, if the tube opens or leaks, everything will be absorbed by the paper in the pouch.
