The success of the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 (2019-nCoV) during the COVID-19 outbreak depends largely on the quality of the specimen and the conditions under which the specimen is transported and stored before being processed in the laboratory. The RT-qPCR diagnosis of COVID-19 requires nasopharyngeal swab specimens. This sample is then deposited in viral transport medium (VTM). There are two main …
Virus transport medium (VTM) is a specially formulated medium for collection, transport and long term freeze storage of viruses. It is designed to maintain the optimum viability and virulence of the viral sample. The collection system uses nylon flocking swabs, which are non-toxic to micro organisms and can maximize the collectionand release of specimens. Product Parameters Product Name Virus Transport …
