Product Parameters

Features

Virus Sampling Tube

The tube body and cap are made of medical-grade Polypropylene, with No deformation after HTHP (121°C, 15min), no embrittlement under low temperature (-196°C). It can bear static extrusion and dynamic impact. The taper bottom design makes it bear centrifugation and shaking.

Preservation Medium (Non-inactivated)
The tube contains 3ml of preservation medium, According to vast test of the influence to cells among Basic liquid, buffer system, protein stabilizer, freezing protective agent, amino acid, etc. 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.
Upgraded preservation medium based on international standards has good bacteriostatic performance and efficient storage, which greatly improves the positive rate of virus isolation.

Sample Requirements

1.Applicable sample types: pharyngeal swab, nasopharyngeal swab, saliva,sputum and other clinical samples;
2.Storage and transportation of samples: Please pay attention to the storage period when using. Samples should be transported to the corresponding laboratory after collection,and store in the room temperature for 3-7 days; If the samples can not be sent to the laboratory after collecting the sample in 7 days, they should be stored at -80℃ or below.

2.Place the swab after the collected sample into the sampling tube. 3.Break the swab at the easy break cut point of the swab rod and discard the tail.
4.Tighten the sample tube lid.
5.Label the information as required on the label of the sampling tube. 6.Samples shall be sent to the corresponding testing laboratory within 2 working days aftercollection, and the storage temperature shall be 2-8 ℃;If the samples cannot be sent to the laboratory within 48hours,they should be stored in -80 ℃ and the collected samples should be sent to the corresponding laboratory within one week.
7. Specific sampling methods can refer to the following:
1.) Pharyngeal swab specimens: swab the posterior pharyngeal wall and tonsils on both sides with special sampling swab. Avoid touching the tongue; Rapidly dip the swab head into the sample solution, Break the swab at the easy break point of the swab rod and discard the tail.
2.）Nasal swab specimen: with a special sample swab, gently insert the swab head into the nasopalatine in the nasal canal, stop for a moment, then slowly rotate to exit; Quickly dip the swab head into the sample solution,
break the swab at the break point of the swab rod and discard the tail.
