Why Choose To Use Virus Sampling Tube

Why choose a dedicated virus sampling tube to collect, transport,  and store samples?

The quality of the collected samples is directly related to the subsequent detection. If improper collection tools and storage liquids are used, the viral load of the collected samples is not high, and with the change in the living microenvironment, it will gradually decompose, which may easily cause wrong detection results. Difficult to diagnose.

2. Conditions that must be met by an excellent virus sampling tube

① Sample validity

Must maintain the activity of the pathogen infection factor;

Meet the time from sample collection to laboratory testing;

There is a need to limit or prevent the proliferation of commensal microorganisms to ensure the reliability of diagnostic tests;

Maintain the integrity of the antigenic and nucleic acid of the virus;

It can maintain the activity of the virus under normal temperature conditions.

②Security

Virus sampling tubes are loaded with infectious substances, some of which are even highly pathogenic substances. Therefore, the requirements for packaging containers are very strict, and they must also meet safety requirements:

Safety of transportation: ensure that the samples are not leaked during transportation.

Preservation safety: ensure that the samples are not leaked during the preservation process.

Precautions for using virus sampling tubes:

1. The storage time is 24 months, and the storage temperature is 5-25°C;

2. This product is only for in vitro diagnosis;

3. This product is only suitable for trained personnel;

4. When using this product, you should wear gloves and a mask to take protective measures;

5. The discarded sample collection solution should be sterilized;

6. If it is found that the sample preservation solution is expired, the preservation solution is muddy, leaking, etc., it is forbidden to use it;

7. If the packaging of the disposable sampling swab is found to be damaged, it should not be used.
