Greiner Bio-One is announcing the production of a new VACUETTE® Virus Stabilization Tube, which is intended for the transport and storage of nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swab specimens. The VACUETTE® Virus Stabilization Tube is to be used by healthcare professionals for SARS-CoV-2 testing only. The ability to meet the current need in the United States for adequate SARS-CoV-2 testing is dependent on the availability of the collection and transport products that are necessary to perform this testing in the manner outlined by the FDA. The virus stabilization tube manufactured by Greiner Bio-One is a crucial part of the testing process and ensures sample stabilization from the point of collection to arrival at a testing laboratory. Additional Product Information: VACUETTE® Virus Stabilization Tubes are 13 x 100mm tubes made of PET with a pre-defined volume of a phosphate buffered saline solution at a pH of 7.4±0.2 to allow for the storage of the SARS-CoV-2 swab specimens for up to 72h at 4°C.
