Virus sampling tubes

Virus sampling tubes can be used for the collection of new coronavirus, influenza virus, hand, foot and mouth, measles, rubella, norovirus, rotavirus and related samples, short-term storage and transportation at room temperature, as well as long-term preservation at -70℃ in the refrigerator or in liquid nitrogen.

Virus Sampling Tubes

[Virus Sampling Tubes Usage and Description

Used for sampling and transportation of clinical new coronavirus, influenza, avian influenza (e.g. H7N9), hand, foot and mouth, measles, noro, rotavirus specimens, as well as mycoplasma, ureaplasma, chlamydia specimens.
Preservation and transportation of viruses and related samples under refrigerated condition (2~8℃) within 48 hours.
Long-term preservation of viruses and related samples at -70℃ or in liquid nitrogen.
[Virus Sampling Tubes Main Ingredients

On the basis of Hank’s, potassium chloride, magnesium chloride and calcium chloride are added to provide essential nutrient ions for the pathogenic bacteria to make it more specialized and longer preservation time, preserving the integrity of the pathogenic bacteria morphology to a greater extent and improving the extraction rate of pathogenic bacteria.
Sampling swabs

Recommended use of flocked swabs, nylon flocking on microorganisms, viruses, non-toxic effect, and does not contain RNAase, DNA enzyme, can maximize the collection and release of viral samples, to ensure the accuracy of PCR test results. The flocked swab rod is made of ABS material, with unique breakable design, no tiny debris generated during the breaking process.
[Sampling Tube]:

The tube body and cap are made of polypropylene, not deformed at high temperature and high pressure (121℃, 15min), and not brittle at low temperature (-80℃). Resistant to static extrusion and dynamic impact. Conical bottom design, resistant to centrifugation and shock. Contain sample preservation liquid for sample release and preservation, preventing leakage. Convenient to elute and put the virus into the sample preservation liquid when more viruses. Sampling tubes are categorized by volume: 10 mL, 7 mL and 5 mL.

Characteristics of inactivated virus preservation solution

①, inactivation type preservation solution contains lysate components, the main purpose is to lysate nucleic acids and release nucleic acids, so that through the subsequent real-time fluorescence RT-PCR nucleic acid detection, in order to determine whether the sample contains viral characteristics of nucleic acids, that is, whether the infection virus.
②, inactivated virus preservation solution is simple to operate and use, the system contains a highly effective virus lysate, inactivate the virus immediately after sampling, effectively preventing the risk of secondary infection, to protect the safety of transportation and testing personnel;
(iii) Viral DNA/RNA can be stored and transported at room temperature for 1 week without degradation, and after extraction according to most commercial kits, the DNA or RNA obtained is of good quality and high yield, which can be used to complete a variety of genetic testing and analysis experiments, such as PCR or qPCR, etc., and at the same time, save the cost of transportation;
Containing RNAase inhibitor, it can maximize the protection of viral nucleic acid from degradation and greatly improve the efficiency of nucleic acid extraction. It is suitable for sampling, preserving and transporting samples of common viruses such as new coronavirus, influenza virus, hand-foot-mouth virus, etc. It can collect tissue samples from pharyngeal swabs, nasal swabs, or specific parts of the body, and the stored samples can be used for subsequent clinical tests such as nucleic acid extraction or purification.

Characteristics of non-inactivated virus preservation solution

①, non-inactivated virus preservation solution preserved virus integrity is better, the detection rate is higher, in addition to nucleic acid detection can also be used for other research;
②, non-inactivated virus preservation solution can be low-temperature non-freezing preservation, does not destroy the virus shell, convenient for long-distance transportation;
③, can be used for H1N1 influenza virus and any other viruses that can be used for swab sampling;
④, the antibiotics in the preservation solution can effectively prevent bacterial and fungal infections;
⑤, BSA (bovine serum albumin) is added to the preservation solution, which protects the virus samples and improves the isolation rate.
