Maintaining specimen integrity is crucial, and this kit supports transport at ambient or refrigerated temperatures. Its stable viral medium ensures sample viability for respiratory viruses such as COVID-19, Influenza, and RSV, aiding accurate diagnostic processes wherever required.

Trusted by Laboratories Worldwide

Manufactured in India, the kit is favored by exporters, suppliers, and healthcare providers. Each component is sterile and quality-controlled, with clearly marked expiration dates and a 12-24 month shelf lifemaking it a dependable choice for routine and critical diagnostic work.

FAQs of Viral Transport Medium (Vtm) Kit:

Q: How should the Viral Transport Medium (VTM) Kit be used for specimen collection?

A: To collect a specimen, carefully use the provided sterile nylon flocked swab to obtain a sample from the patient. Immediately place the swab into the polypropylene tube containing the viral transport medium, secure the leak-proof cap, and label the tube as needed.

Q: What types of viruses can this VTM Kit be used to detect?

A: This kit is suitable for collecting and transporting specimens for the detection of respiratory viruses such as COVID-19, Influenza, and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV). It is versatile for laboratory or clinical diagnostic applications.

Q: When should collected specimens be transported and under what conditions?

A: Specimens should be transported as soon as possible after collection. They are stable at ambient temperature for short periods but should ideally be stored and transported at 2-8C to maximize viability and accuracy of results.

Q: Where can this VTM Kit be stored and what is its shelf life?

A: The kit should be stored in a refrigerator at 2-8C. Its shelf life ranges from 12 to 24 months, with the precise expiration date clearly printed on the packaging for your reference.

Q: What are the key benefits of using a leak-proof polypropylene tube with the VTM kit?

A: Polypropylene ensures chemical compatibility and durability, while the leak-proof red or blue cap prevents spills and contamination, thus guaranteeing safe transportation and handling of viral samples.

Q: Is the Viral Transport Medium (VTM) Kit ready to use and sterile?

A: Yes, the kit is fully sterile and arrives ready to use, minimizing preparation time and reducing risk of contamination during sample collection and transport.

Q: What components are included in the VTM Kit and how do they facilitate the specimen transport process?

A: Each kit contains viral transport medium (pink or colorless), a sterile nylon flocked swab, and a polypropylene tube with a leak-proof cap. These elements work together to collect, preserve, and securely transport viral samples for laboratory testing.
