Virus Transport Media (VTM)

Often, nucleic acid (NA) tests do not require viable viruses but intact nucleic acid particles of the viral genome. COVIDSafe_TM has been designed to support majority of currently approved SARSCoV-2/COVID-19 tests in the world are molecular based tests like RT-qPCR.

COVIDSafe^TM provides

Safety – On-the-spot inactivation of samples minimizes such risks of accidental spread of disease.

Ease of handling – Due to inactivation, sample virulence is lost and samples can be processed under Biosafety Level II.

Easy and economical transport – Samples can be stored and shipped at ambient temperature, thereby, eliminating the need of cold chain maintenance and reducing shipping/ packing costs.

Storage and shelf life – Store at room temperature, away from bright light. Use before date of expiry given on the product label.

COVIDSafe^TM comes either in 1.5ml or 3ml in self standing tubes with or without Nasopharyngeal Nylon Flocked Swab
