Virus Inactivation Transport Medium (VITM)

Description

Description

For sampling, transferring, and inactivating the infected virus samples. Virus Inactivation Transport Medium is an optimized medium with the virus-inactivating agents for transferring viruses–like a swab for the Corona test. This medium is appropriate for preserving virus nucleic acid for RNA isolation. The unique features of this medium include virus–inactivation, lack of influence, and interference with viral RNA isolation steps. After sampling and putting the swab in the medium, the solution could be used as the primary reagent for virus RNA isolation without using lysis solution (BFC in RNJia virus kit). The sample should be transferred to VITM immediately after taking the Dacron swab for the Coronavirus test.
