Inactivation Viral Transport Medium, I-VTM

To collect and transport the virus samples, which can inactivate the viruses and preserve the viral nucleic acid during transport. Protect technicians from exposed to the infectious agents.

1. Inactivates Viruses Viability for Safe Handling, Transport, and Processing

2. Completely Inactivate Coronavirus Viability within 10 mins

No cytopathic effect (CPE) was observed after viruses stored in I-VTM for 10 mins and infected Huh7 cell.

	HCoV-229E only	I-VTM only	I-VTM+HCoV-229E
			RT, 10 mins	-80?, 10 mins	4?, 10 mins
Huh7 cell	infected	Non-infected	Non-infected	Non-infected	Non-infected

3. Effectively Preserve SARS-CoV-2 Nucleic Acids for qRT-PCR Analysis.

4. Flocked Swab Suitable for Sample Collection of Different Types of Molecular Assays

Flocked swab can uptake and release sample into liquid medium better than rayon swab.

5. Room Temperature Storage up to 96 Hours

Virus nucleic acids can be detected after stored under room temperature 96 hours.
