Viral Transport Medium Tube
A virus sampling tube is a product used to collect and transport infectious disease specimens. It is not a single product, but a set consisting of a sampling flocked swab, Viral Transport Medium and a plastic tube. Sampling process: use a swab to sample the patient, but the preservation solution into a plastic tube, put the sample into the plastic tube preservation solution, and transport the preserved sample to the laboratory for testing.
Special instructions for virus sampling tubes:
If the collected sample is used to detect viral nucleic acid, it must be used with a nucleic acid extraction kit and nucleic acid detection reagent; if it is used for virus isolation, it must be combined with a cell culture medium.
Different application fields have different requirements on the volume of sampling liquid, please replace the corresponding product according to the prompts in the sequence information:
Viral sampling tubes that collect viral samples from clinical patients generally require less fluid.
For a collection of single-use virus sampling tubes and short-term delivery of influenza virus from the external environment. We typically require a liquid volume of 3 to 6 ml.
Virus sampling tubes have three requirements, including transport, storage, and sample usefulness.
Transportation, ensure that the samples do not leak during transportation;
Preservation, ensure that the sample does not leak during the preservation process;
In terms of the usefulness of the sample, the sampling tube itself does not have a toxic effect on the sample, so as not to affect the material collected in the sampling tube, which in turn affects the test results.
What is vtm kits?
Viral Transport Medium Tube
Cell medical (Dongguan) Co., Ltd.’s disposable nasopharyngeal VTM sampling kit is a nasopharyngeal swab sample collection for COVID-19 detection. The kit contains a virus transport medium (VTM) for nucleic acid detection and virus culture. It can be stored at room temperature before collection and should be stored at 2-8°C after collection to avoid the growth of contaminants.
VTM
Viral Transport Medium includes Hanks’ Balanced Salt Solution, fetal bovine serum, antibacterial antibiotics, antifungal antibiotics. And phenol red as indicators for real-time monitoring of solution pH stability.
It is not a single product, but a set consisting of a sampling flocked swab, Viral Transport Medium and a plastic tube.
Flocked swab
The supplied sterile nasopharyngeal swab has a flocked tip with a breakpoint at 80mm of the tip, compatible with the supplied tubing. The cap design is very effective in containing the VTM and preventing sample leakage.
