Description

The diagnosis of COVID-19 viral infection by culture relies on the collection of proper specimens and proper care to protect the virus in the specimen from environmental damage and the use of an adequate transport system to maintain virus activity. Polymed Viral Transport Media carries a specially formulated medium for the transportation of viral specimens. It is designed to maintain the optimum viability and virulence of the viral specimen. Polymed’s VTM allows the safe transfer of viruses for diagnostic purposes. Designed with safety, reliability and convenience to meet your viral testing needs.

Viral Transport Media

• The Viral transport medium contains Hank’s Balanced Salt Solution with phenol red indicator to ensure media integrity at the time of specimen collection.
• Provides protective protein and antibiotics to inhibit microbial contamination and buffers to control the pH balanced environment.
• Size:
  1. Tube dimension: 16 X 100mm
  2. Media: 3 ml

Swabs

• Fine flocked Nylon swab provides excellent sample collection and elutes the cellular material into a liquid medium.
• Separate swabs for Nasal & Oral samples.

VLTM Kit

Viral Lysis Transport medium is specially formulated for the collection and transport of viruses. It is designed to lyse and maintain optimum conditions for the transport of the viral sample.

Polymed Viral Lysis Transport Medium helps to collect and transport COVID 19 viruses in the lysed form to the laboratory for testing.

Viral Lysis Transport Medium

The Viral Lysis Transport medium contains Tris-HCl Buffer and contains a surfactant, chelating agent and antimicrobial agents (Antibiotic & Anti-fungal) to control microbial contamination and also buffers to control the pH.
