iClean® Virus Transport System (VTM – RT): The Solid Bridge of Medical Testing

In the field of medical testing, accurate and timely virus detection is the key to disease prevention and control. The iClean® Virus Transport System (VTM – RT) serves as a solid bridge, connecting the sampling site and the laboratory, ensuring the safe and effective transportation of virus samples, and playing an irreplaceable role in the prevention and control of infectious diseases.

The iClean® Virus Transport System (VTM – RT) has excellent sample applicability. Whether it is respiratory viruses such as the novel coronavirus and influenza virus, or enteroviruses, it can effectively collect and transport them. Taking the COVID – 19 pandemic as an example, during the large – scale nucleic acid testing, medical staff used the VTM – RT to collect nasopharyngeal swab samples from patients. The supporting sampling swab is reasonably designed, which can gently and efficiently collect enough samples. Subsequently, the swab is placed in a transport tube containing a special preservation solution. This preservation solution can maintain the activity of the virus, ensuring that the virus will not be inactivated or degraded during transportation, providing high – quality samples for subsequent nucleic acid testing and making the test results more accurate and reliable.

The system is very easy to operate, which greatly improves the testing efficiency. Even sampling personnel without rich experience can master the usage method proficiently after simple training. At community nucleic acid testing sites, staff only need to collect samples with a swab according to the standard procedure, quickly put it into the transport tube of the VTM – RT, and seal it. The whole process is fast and smooth, reducing the sampling time and increasing the testing throughput. Especially in large – scale screening work, a large number of samples can be collected in a short time, winning precious time for epidemic prevention and control.

Safety is also a major highlight of the iClean® Virus Transport System (VTM – RT). Some models use inactivated preservation solutions. Once the sample enters the transport tube, the virus will be inactivated quickly. This not only reduces the infection risk to staff during transportation and testing but also decreases the possibility of environmental pollution caused by virus leakage. In high – risk infectious disease testing scenarios, this safety design is particularly important, providing reliable protection for medical staff and laboratory workers.

The iClean® Virus Transport System (VTM – RT) has built a solid bridge for sample transportation in medical testing. With its wide sample applicability, simple operation, and excellent safety, it plays a key role in the prevention and control of infectious diseases, contributes to protecting public health, and is an essential tool in the field of medical testing.
