Essential Components of Viral Transport Medium Kit (VTM)
With an increasing need
for wide research on the diagnosis of COVID-19, infections by cell culture rely
heavily on the careful and aseptic collection of specimens. This medium is
important to protect the virus from environmental harm and sustain its action
with a sufficient sustainable transport system. This medium is planned to be
biocompatible with primary cell cultures.
Viral Transport Medium is used for the collection, transportation, and
protection of human nasopharyngeal or pharyngeal virus samples from the
collection site to the testing laboratory.
Essential
Components of Viral
transport medium kit:
• Right Base Media
• Potency of Anti-Biotic
• Sterile Leak-proof tube
• Sterile Nasopharyngeal and Or pharyngeal swabs
• Transported and stored at room temperature
Base Media is very
important for these kits because it improves the capability and growth of the
specimen along with stabilizing the pH & osmolarity. And the potency of
antibiotics is very much crucial as it helps to avoid contamination from bacterial
and fungal origins.
