Viral Transport Medium
Details
Product Description
Viral Transport Medium (VTM) is designed for the collection, transport, and preservation of clinical specimens intended for molecular testing and viral culture. Formulated with a balanced preservation medium and antimicrobial agents, it helps maintain specimen integrity while inhibiting bacterial and fungal overgrowth. Compatible with a broad range of specimen types, the medium provides a reliable solution for downstream diagnostic and research applications.
Product Features
- Supports Molecular Testing and Viral Culture – Designed for the collection, transport, and preservation of clinical specimens for downstream diagnostic applications.
- Preserves Sample Integrity – Balanced formulation with glucose and salts helps maintain viral stability during transport and storage.
- Built-In Antimicrobial Protection – Contains antibiotics to inhibit bacterial and fungal overgrowth and reduce the risk of sample contamination.
- Flexible Storage Conditions – Supports specimen storage and transport at 2–8°C for up to 30 days for nucleic acid testing or below 25°C for up to 72 hours, enabling flexible sample logistics.

Application Cases
Lentivirus samples were stored in Viral Transport Medium and placed under the conditions of 2-8℃ and 25℃ respectively. 293T cells were infected at 24h, 48h and 72h. The activity of virus was verified by monitoring the expression of green fluorescent protein：
Storage Conditions
Specimens prescrved in Viral Transport Medium for nucleic acid extraction or testing are allowed to be transported and / or stored at 2 --8°C for up to 30 days or at less than 25°C for up to 72 hours. Specimens preserved in Viral Transport Medium for viral culture are allowed to be transported and / or stored at less than 25°C for up to 72 hours.

This kit is designed for the extraction of high-purity viral DNA/RNA from a wide range of samples, including plasma, serum, ascitic fluid, urine, swabs, tissue, feces, sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, viscous liquids, whole blood, and other body fluids.
SARS-CoV-2/ Influenza A Virus/ Influenza B Virus Nucleic Acid Detection Kit (Fluorescence RT-PCR)
The SARS-COV-2, influenza A virus and influenza B virus are infectious and harmful, and can cause similar clinical symptoms and complications. This kit adopts fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR method, which can be timely detected in the early stage of virus infection, and can distinguish the virus type. By labeling different fluorescent signals on the designed specific probes, different fluorescence was generated in the reaction system, so that the three viral nucleic acids could be detected by type in the same reaction tube which greatly improves the work efficiency.
