The iClean® Virus Transport System is mainly used for the collection, transportation and preservation of virus samples to ensure that the virus samples remain viable and intact during the process from the collection site to the testing laboratory. Its specific applications are as follows:

Detection of COVID-19: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the iClean® Virus Transport System played an important role. Medical staff used this system to collect samples such as throat swabs and nasal swabs from patients and safely transport them to the laboratory for nucleic acid testing, providing a crucial basis for the diagnosis of COVID-19.
Detection of Influenza Virus: For influenza patients, samples from the nasal cavity or throat can be collected through this system, which can help detect the types and subtypes of the influenza virus, assist doctors in diagnosing the condition accurately and in a timely manner, and provide support for the treatment and prevention of influenza.
Detection of Other Viruses: It can also be used for the transport of samples for the detection of various viruses such as respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, herpesvirus, etc., helping clinical doctors diagnose diseases such as viral pneumonia and herpangina.

Epidemic Surveillance: In the surveillance of infectious disease epidemics, the iClean® Virus Transport System can be used to collect virus samples from the population to monitor the transmission and mutation trends of viruses. For example, during the influenza season, large-scale sample collection and testing are carried out on specific populations to understand the prevalent strains and transmission ranges of the influenza virus, providing data support for the formulation of epidemic prevention and control strategies.
Epidemiological Studies: In the study of the transmission routes, sources of infection and transmission dynamics of viruses, this system can ensure the reliable quality of the collected virus samples. By analyzing these samples, researchers can better understand the transmission patterns of viruses in the population and provide a scientific basis for formulating effective prevention and control measures.

Virus Culture and Research: Researchers use the iClean® Virus Transport System to transport the collected virus samples to the laboratory for research work such as virus isolation, culture and identification. This helps to gain an in-depth understanding of the biological characteristics and genetic variation patterns of viruses, providing a basis for the research and development of antiviral drugs.
Vaccine Development: During the vaccine development process, a large number of virus samples are needed for antigen screening, immunogenicity studies and other work. The iClean® Virus Transport System can ensure the viability and integrity of virus samples, providing high-quality samples for vaccine development and accelerating the vaccine development process.

Port Prevention and Control: At entry and exit ports such as airports and harbors, staff use the iClean® Virus Transport System to collect and transport virus samples from entry and exit personnel to detect whether they carry exotic viruses such as Ebola virus and Zika virus, preventing the cross-border transmission of infectious diseases and ensuring the public health security of the country.
Animal Quarantine: For animals and their products entering or leaving the country, samples can also be collected using this system to detect whether animals are infected with pathogens such as foot-and-mouth disease virus and avian influenza virus, preventing the introduction and spread of animal diseases and protecting the healthy development of the domestic livestock industry.
