The KaiBiLiTM Extended ViralTrans PBS is phosphate buffer saline which can maintain pH and osmotic balance, as well as provide cells with water and essential inorganic ions.
Introduction
Appropriate specimen collection and transport is important to accurate laboratory diagnosis of infectious disease. Not only personnel operating skills, but also a proper specimen collection and transport system are essential attributes for reliable diagnosis result.
The KaiBiLiTM Extended ViralTrans PBS is suitable for collection, transport of clinical specimens. The system is consists of a plastic, stand up tube with screw cap filled with universal transport medium, and with/without Sterile swabs.
Specimens need to be placed in to the tube containing transport medium immediately after sample collection and submitted to the laboratory as soon as possible. It is recommended that 2~8°C is the most appropriate temperature for specimen transportation.
PRINCIPLE
The formula of the KaiBiLiTM Extended ViralTrans PBS contains Na2HPO4, KH2PO4, NaCl and KCl. Na2HPO4 and KH2PO4 are applied to buffer pH value for a wide range. NaCl and KCl are used to balance the ionic concentration in the solution.
