The disposable Viral Transport Medium is a commonly used virus sampling tube, which is composed of sampling swabs and virus preservation fluid and can be combined with subsequent PCR instruments for rapid detection of viral diseases.

Non-inactivated virus preservation solution contains a variety of solution components conducive to virus cell culture, which can ensure the integrity of the virus, help increase the survival time and stability of the virus.

The virus is a kind of non-cellular life form, it is made up of a nucleic acid molecule and protein or only by protein, the individual is a small, simple structure that only contains a kind of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA). Without a cellular structure, the virus cannot replicate itself, but instead inserts genes into the host cell and uses the latter’s replication system to replicate the new virus.

Common infectious diseases are usually RNA viruses, such as influenza virus, HIV virus, h1n1 virus, and so on. After the virus samples are collected, the swabs are stored and transported in a storage solution to maintain the activity of the virus samples and prolong the survival time of the virus in the samples.

In addition, we also supply the inactivated virus transport medium which can make the sample lose the infectivity, which can improve the safety of the sample storage and transportation.

Product Specifications

Note: For large-scale nucleic acid testing in non-risk areas during a pandemic, a large-volume viral transport medium that can fit 5 or 10 swab samples can significantly reduce testing costs.

Features of Non-Inactivated Virus Transport Medium

VTM allows the safe transfer of viruses, chlamydiae, and mycoplasma for further research and analytics.

The special formulation ensures the best possible recovery of the samples and the addition of antibiotics inhibits the contaminating growth of bacteria and fungi.

Bovine serum protein (BSA) acts as a protein stabilizer, but the protein coat of the virus forms a protective membrane, making it difficult to decompose and ensuring the integrity of the virus.

Hanks buffer creates a neutral environment, which helps increase the survival time and infection stability of the virus.

The product is provided as bulk liquid media for use in further processes, e.g. filling into smaller sample tubes.

This product is also equipped with flocking cotton swab to help users collect samples, there are a variety of cotton swab models for selection.

Applications

Non-inactivated virus preservation solution is usually used for clinical influenza, avian influenza (such as H7N9), hand, foot and mouth disease, measles and other virus specimens and mycoplasma, ureaplasma, chlamydia and other live specimens and transportation.

It is suitable for several applications including classical cell culture methods, diagnostic testing, as well as molecular biology techniques (including PCR).
