Sterile Sampling Swab Nylon Flocked Material Φ2.2x150mm (Stick), Approx. Ø3mm (Tip)
Transport Tube 10ml sample transport tube
Transport Medium  3ml per 10ml tube

 

  • Flocked swabs contain plastic stick to breakpoint flocked swabs;
  • Optional non-inactivated virus tasting tube or suspended transmission tool;
  • Ready-to-use easy-tear product packaging to avoid cross-contamination;
  • Offer biohazard sampling bags for secure transport;
  • 50 per pack;

Each viral collection kit consists of a sterilized peel bag including a snappable swab used to collect the sample, a transport tube consisting of a tool into which the swab is placed after tasting as well as a biohazard bag used to place the transport tube for transportation.

Once a swab sample is accumulated it should be placed promptly into the transport tube submitted to the lab as promptly as possible.

Although VTM can preserve organisms for long periods of time at area temperature it is advised that specimens need to be kept at 2-8 ℃ when possible while in transit. If there will be a lengthy delay before processing samplings they ought to preferably be saved at -70 ℃

Which can preserve the activity of infection in a vast temperature level variety and attempt to preserve the originality of the example.

Without lysate, it can preserve the activity and stability of the virus as well as can be utilized for virus culture as well as seclusion.

Inactivated kind: nucleic acid removal lysate boosted virus lysate preservation solution.

The suspended kind consists of a high focus of bosom salt, which can swiftly and successfully suspend the viral protein of the example to be tested.

We can spot nucleic acid by RT-PCR to judge whether the sample includes virus characteristic nucleic acid.

It consists of cleaved nucleic acid materials, so regarding spot nucleic acid by RT-PCR, so as to evaluate whether the sample consists of virus characteristic nucleic acid.

Precautions:

1. For in-vitro diagnostic usage only.

2. Usage aseptic technique and biohazard preventative measures when collecting and dealing with sampling.

3. Decontaminate all biohazard waste including samplings, containers and media after their use.
