The Inactivated VTM contains a storage solution for virus lysis and viral nucleic acid, containing guanidine salt and nucleic acid stabilizer at an appropriate concentration. After the collected virus sample is fully mixed with it, the virus (or other pathogens) will be rapidly lyzed to release nucleic acid. Nucleic acid stabilizers in liquids protect released nucleic acids (RNA or DNA) from degradation by RNase and DNase. The sample treated by the sample tube can be used for subsequent nucleic acid extraction.
Product description
After the virus samples are collected, PCR detection is usually not performed in time at the sample collection site, so the collected virus swab samples need to be transported, and the virus itself will be quickly lysed in vitro, which affects subsequent testing, so when storing and transporting,you need to add the virus preservation solution. For different detection purposes, you need to use different virus preservation solutions. At present, it is mainly divided into inactivated and non-inactivated types. In order to meet different testing requirements and different virus testing laboratory conditions, it is very necessary to use different preservation solutions.
Inactivated Disposable Virus sample collection tube
Preservation solution B can lyse and inactivate the virus in the sample, so that the virus loses its infectious activity. It can effectively prevent the operator from secondary infection, but it also contains inhibitors, which can protect the virus nucleic acid from being degraded, so that the subsequent detection can be carried out by the fire-extinguishing preservation solution.
