INTENDED USE

VTM/VTM-N Collection and Transport kit is a ready-to-use system used for the collection and transport of viruses obtained from clinical specimens.

 

PRINCIPLE

The kit is available with VTM and VTM-N media. VTM medium consists of modified Hank’s-HEPES buffer solution supplemented with bovine serum albumin, gelatin, glucose, antibiotic and etc. It is osmotically balanced and buffered to maintain the viability of virus specimens during transportation to laboratory.

VTM-N medium consists of Tris-HCl buffers, EDTA and guanidine salt. The presence of guanidine salts acts as the protein deformers and nuclease inhibitors which makes the virus inactive, but does not affect the integrity of the viral nucleic acid.

The nominal formula for each medium is as follows:
