Medical Disposable VTM Sampling Tube Virus Sampling kit Non inactivated Viral Transport Medium

Virus Sampling Kits which have been used for collection, stabilization and transportation of Influenza H1N1, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma.

Normally, a Virus Sampling Kit contains 1 Flocked Sampling Swab, 1 tube with VTM and 1biohazard bag. We provide 2 kinds of Flocked Sampling Swabs for the Virus Sampling Kits, customization is welcome.

[Principle of Procedure]

Flocked Swabs comprise of a solid molded PP or PS applicator shaft and the tip of the applicator which is coated

with short Nylon fibers that are arranged in a perpendicular fashion. The swabs have no internal absorbent core to disperse and entrap the specimen– the entire specimen stays close to the surface for fast and complete elution.

After collecting specimens using the swab, the swab is then put into the preservation tube for storage and transportation, and subsequent detection.

The Viral Transport Medium is mainly composed of modified Hank's balanced salt solution, bovine serum albumin, amino acids and glucose and the pH is buffered with HEPES buffer. Phenol red is used indicates pH. Gentamicin and amphotericin B are incorporated into the medium to inhibit competing bacteria and yeast. The medium is isotonic and non-toxic to mammalian host cells.
