Disposable Inactivated Virus Sampling Tube

Disposable inactivated virus sampling tubes contain virus lysate, which can effectively inactivate viruses and reduce the risk of laboratory infection. The product is stored at room temperature and protected from light. After sampling, the product is transported at 5-25℃. The effect of transportation is better with ice bags.

Product name

Inactivated Sample Collection Tube

Alternative name

Disposable Virus Sample Collection Tube, also named Sample Transport Medium, Specimen Collection Tube, etc.

Product description

The virus preservation solution added with lysis salt is an inactivated virus preservation solution. The main purpose of the Tris, lysis salt, EDTA, etc. contained in it is to lyse the nucleic acid to release the nucleic acid, so that the nucleic acid can be detected by the subsequent real-time fluorescent RT-PCR. This is to determine whether the sample contains virus characteristic nucleic acid, that is, whether it is infected with the virus.

Nucleic acid is a biological macromolecular compound formed by the polymerization of many nucleotides, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), and is one of the most basic substances of life. The virus has a single structure and contains only one type of nucleic acid and protein. Therefore, the virus will be detected if the characteristic nucleic acid is detected. Viruses are parasitic organisms and cannot survive outside the body after sampling. If they cannot be detected in time, they need to be placed in the virus preservation solution. In order to protect the safety of the virus detection environment, it is necessary to add lysis salt to inactivate the virus and release the nucleic acid that can be detected.

Features of our Inactivated Disposable Virus Tube(Disposable Vtm)

1. Simple operation and use, no need to prepare liquid, the system contains high-efficiency virus lysate, the virus is inactivated immediately after sampling, effectively preventing the risk of secondary infection, and ensuring the safety of transportation and testing personnel;

2. Viral DNA/RNA can be stored and transported at room temperature for 1 week without degradation. After extraction according to most commercial kits, the DNA/RNA obtained is of good quality and high yield, and can complete various genetic testing and analysis experiments. Such as PCR, qPCR, etc., while saving transportation costs;

3. Contains nucleic acid RNase inhibitors to maximize the protection of viral nucleic acids from being degraded and greatly improve the efficiency of nucleic acid extraction.

4. It is suitable for the collection, preservation and transportation of common virus samples such as new coronavirus, influenza virus, hand, foot and mouth virus. It can collect throat swabs and nasal test samples or tissue samples of specific parts. The stored samples can be used for subsequent clinical trials such as nucleic acid extraction or purification. 

[Precautions]

1. It is forbidden to directly touch the person being collected with the preservation solution that has been placed in the virus sample.

2. It is forbidden to sample the swab after soaking the swab with the preservation solution.

3. This Inactivated Disposable Virus Sampling Tube（Disposable VTM） is a disposable product and is only used for the collection, transportation and storage of clinically collected virus specimens. It should not be used beyond the intended use.

4. The Virus Sampling Tube must not be used after the expiry date or the product packaging is damaged.

5. When collecting virus samples, professionals should strictly follow the sampling procedures; when samples are tested, they should be operated in a laboratory that meets the safety level.

6. After collection, the specimen should be transported to the corresponding laboratory within 3 working days, and the storage temperature should be 2-8 Celsius. If it cannot be delivered to the laboratory within 72 hours, it should be stored at -70 Celsius or below, and it should avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
