Transport media reagent M4

gentamicinamphotericin Bfor RT-PCR

Shape and Constitution The product is intended to collect specimen sample from patient’s nasal mucosa or nasal concha for testing Virus (ex. Covid-19), Chlamydia, Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma. After collection specimens should be stored at 2~25°c and processed within 48 hours. VTM:M4 Inactivation Medium has been designed for inactivation of potentially infectious biological pathogens ensuring safety during handling, transport and processing. Performance Universal Transport Medium consist of Proteose peptone, Yeast extract,Yeast extract, Dextrose, Gelatin, K2HPO4, Gentamicin, Amphotericin-B, Potassium Phosphate. Amphotericin B and Gentamicin are incorporated in the medium to inhibit growth of competing Bacteria and Yeast. The medium is isotonic and non-toxic to mammalian host cells. The presence of sucrose acts as a cryoprotectant which aids in the preservation of viruses and chlamydia if specimen are frozen for prolonged storage. Method of Use 1. Take off the sterile pouch 2.
