PCR Swab Test detection disposable virus sampling tube inactivated non-inactivated production supplier
Viral Transport Medium Tube: virus transport tube, which consists of a virus storage tube and virus storage solution.
Virus transport tube: specially designed in combination with subsequent PCR instruments for the rapid detection of viral diseases.
The virus preservation solution ( Viral Transport Medium) is a protective liquid medium added to the virus sampling tube to protect the samples after nasopharyngeal swab sampling.
Includes inactivated viral transport media and non-inactivated viral transport media.
Usually, during nucleic acid detection, nucleic acid PCR cannot be performed directly at the sample collection site.
If the samples collected by flocked swabs need to be transferred for inspection, VTM needs to be added.
Virus detection is different from conventional biochemical detection.
The virus itself is a simple-structured microorganism that must be parasitic in living cells.
After sampling, the virus leaves the host cell. Its protein shell and nucleic acid are quickly degraded in the sampling tube.
So it is impossible to determine whether the initially collected sample contains the virus during nucleic acid detection, which may easily lead to false negatives.
The non-inactivated virus preservation solution contains a variety of solution components that are beneficial to the cultivation of virus cells. Which can ensure the integrity of the virus and help increase the survival time and stability of the virus.
A virus is a non-cellular life form that consists of nucleic acid molecules and proteins or only proteins, an individual is a small and simple structure that contains only one nucleic acid (DNA or RNA). Without a cellular structure, viruses cannot replicate themselves, but instead, insert genes into host cells and use the latter’s replication system to replicate new viruses. Common infectious diseases are usually RNA viruses, such as influenza virus, HIV virus, H1N1 virus, etc.
After the collection of virus samples, stored and transported in a virus preservation solution to maintain the activity of virus samples and prolong the survival time of viruses in the samples.
In addition, we also provide inactivated virus sampling tubes, which can make the sample infective. Thus improving the safety of sample storage and transportation. The product is supplied in bulk liquid medium for further processing, such as into smaller sample tubes.
Inactivated or non-inactivated virus preservation solution. Its basic function is to protect the integrity of virus or viral nucleic acid and ensure the accuracy of viral nucleic acid detection.
Both VTMs have their own advantages.
CellMedical’s virus sampling tubes with a flocked swab to help users collect samples, and there are a variety of swab models to choose from.
NOTE: For large-scale nucleic acid testing in non-risk areas during a pandemic, high-volume viral transport media that can hold 5 or 10 swab samples can greatly reduce testing costs.
Characteristics of non-inactivated virus transport media
VTM can safely transfer viruses, chlamydia and mycoplasma for further research and analysis.
The special formulation ensures optimal sample recovery and the added antibiotic inhibits the contaminating growth of bacteria and fungi.
Bovine serum albumin (BSA) acts as a protein stabilizer, but the protein coat of the virus forms a protective film. Making it difficult to decompose and ensuring the integrity of the virus.
Hanks’ buffer (HBSS) creates a neutral environment, which helps increase the survival time of the virus and the stability of infection.
This product is also equipped with flocked swabs to help users collect samples, and there are a variety of swab models to choose from.
Applications of Viral Transport Medium Tubes
Non-inactivated virus preservation solution: for the preservation and transportation of clinical influenza, avian influenza (such as H7N9). Hand, foot and mouth disease, measles and other viral specimens and mycoplasma, urea. Chlamydia and other living specimens.
It is suitable for a variety of applications including classical cell culture methods, and diagnostic tests. And molecular biology techniques (including PCR)
