Viral Transport Medium Tube
Whether nucleic acid detection or virus detection, Viral Transport Medium Tube and Sampling Swab play a great role.
Sampling swab is used to collect virus samples, while virus preservation solution plays the role of preserving these virus samples.
Which not only ensures the integrity of nucleic acid virus, but also facilitates the later detection accuracy.
How many virus preservation solutions are there? What are the functions and differences?
At present, there are two kinds of virus preservation solutions on the market, namely inactivated virus preservation solution and non inactivated Viral Transport Medium.
Non-inactivated Viral Transport Medium can protect the protein and nucleic acid of the virus.
Inactivated Viral Transport Medium usually contains the cleavage salt of inactivated virus to cleave the protein and protect the nucleic acid.
Specific uses of virus sampling tube:
1. The virus sampling tube is generally used for nucleic acid extraction and later virus isolation of influenza virus, hand, foot and mouth virus and rubella virus in clinical patients. The amount of liquid required is usually 35m or 5m. (with nucleic acid detection kit and spore culture medium)
2. For the collection and short-term transportation of avian influenza virus in the external environment. The amount of liquid required is usually 6ml.
3. For daily monitoring and sampling of poultry, pigs and other animals. The amount of liquid required is usually 15m.
4. For short-term preservation of virus samples. (2-8 ℃ for 48 hours) for necessary cell culture.
5. Used for long-term preservation of virus samples (- 70 ℃ – 196 ℃ for one year) for necessary cell culture.
6. To collect clinical respiratory virus rapid detection kit.
7. To collect clinical samples of mycoplasma, chlamydia and Ureaplasma.
8. To transport tissue samples from the sampling site to the detection laboratory for necessary cell culture.
