Product Overview

VTM Virus Sampling Kit is a system with Universal Transport Medium, which is suitable for collection, transport, maintenance and long-term freeze storage of clinical specimens containing viruses, including  Coronavirus (COVID-19), chlamydia, mycoplasma or ureaplasma organisms. The transport medium comes in a plastic, screw cap tube and maintains organism viability for 48 hours at room or refrigerated temperature.

Features

• VTM Swabs are room temperature stable, also incorporates a cryoprotectant.
• Safe and reliable precision moulded breakpoint swabs with a capture cap which automatically locates the viral swab into the lid for transport.
• Formulation also includes antibiotics to inhibit bacterial and fungal flora.
• SAFE, SHATTERPROOF, STAND UP tubes with internal conical shape enabling centrifugation of samples.
• Rapid release and dispersion of sample material and virus particles during vortexing with three glass beads in tube.
• Available as filled Universal Transport Medium tubes in bulk or as patient sample collection packs with either Flocked Swab (regular or mini tip) or polyester fiber swabs.
• Suitable for nucleic acid amplification assays including Chlamydia Trachomatis / Neisseria gonorrhoea

Comprising

1. Sample collection tube 1 pc

Size of Φ16×100mm, capacity of 10ml. Tube body and cap are made by Polypropylene, No deformation after HTHP (121˚C, 15min), no embrittlement under low temperature (-196˚C). it can bear static extrusion and dynamic impact. Taper bottom design makes it bear centrifugation and shaking. Leakage proof.

2. Sample storage liquid 3.5ml

According to vast test of the influence to cells among Basic liquid, buffer system, protein stabilizer, freezing protective agent, amino acid, We summarize a formula which is most applicable for the virus storage. It can keep a high efficiency for virus storage, and largely increase the positive rate of virus culture.

3. Sampling swab 1pc

Flocking Nylon swab, No toxic to the cells and virus. RNAse free. It can increase the collecting and releasing of the specimen in the largest degree, which can ensure positive result in PCR tests.The plastic sticker is unique designed make it easy to break off, No fragment when breaking off the sticker.
