Details
VTFOR Viral Transport Medium is a transport system used for collecting and transporting cells and viruses from clinical specimens or media for the isolation of nucleic acids to be used in nucleic acid amplification tests. It inhibits nucleases such as DNAse and RNAse in the medium. It also contains magnesium-binding substances needed by these enzymes, which can cause problems in molecular diagnosis.
VTFOR Viral Transport Medium is used to ensure the amplification of nucleic acids desired to be isolated from samples taken from cells or various microorganisms by methods such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR). In addition, it is also widely used for the preservation and transportation of samples taken for several purposes – such as the detection of infectious agents, including SARS-CoV-2, identification of DNA sequences causing genetic diseases, determination of genotypes such as disease, drug resistance, etc., until the laboratory analysis stage.
The sensitivity of many laboratory applications depends heavily on the proper collection and transportation of samples. VTFOR Viral Transport Medium is a sampling and transport buffer designed for this purpose.
