This Viral Transport Medium (VTM) allows the safe collection and transport of viruses, chlamydia, and mycoplasma for further research, including conventional cell culture methods, diagnostic tests, and molecular biology techniques. Valid for transferring viruses and cells from clinical samples or the environment, for isolating nucleic acids that will be used in nucleic acid amplification tests.

These viral transport media are available in a screw cap plastic tube containing buffered proteins (serum, albumin, or gelatin) and antibiotics. Antibiotics are usually incorporated into the viral transport media to suppress the growth of contaminating bacteria and fungi, so separate samples from the same site should be collected if bacterial or fungal cultures are also requested.

The composition and the manufacturing of the Viral Transport Medium follow the WHO and the CDC recommendations.

The VTM is available with swabs and a zip lock.

This set includes:

VTM kit with Oral & Nasal swabs, 50pcs/pack

Intended proposal of use:

Safe collection and transport of clinical specimens containing viruses, chlamydia, mycoplasma, or ureaplasma from the collection site to the testing laboratory.
