What Is Virus Sampling Tube

Virus sampling tube is a set of centrifuge tubes for sampling and transportation of influenza virus, hand-foot-mouth virus and other viruses in the microbial sampling transportation tube, also known as the specimen transportation tube.

1. Sampling swab with disposable sterile plastic rod/man-made fiber head

2. Sterile sampling tube containing 3ml virus maintenance solution

3. There are additional parts such as biosafety bags.

Usage

1. It is used for monitoring and sampling of infectious pathogenic microorganisms by disease control departments and clinical departments.

It is suitable for sampling of influenza virus (common influenza, highly pathogenic avian influenza, H1N1 influenza virus, etc.), hand, foot and mouth virus and other types of viruses. It is also used for sampling of Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, Ureaplasma, etc.

2. It is used to transport nasopharyngeal swab specimens or tissue specimens of specific parts from the sampling site to the testing laboratory for PCR extraction and detection.

3. It is used to preserve nasopharyngeal swab samples or tissue specimens of specific parts for necessary cell culture.

Requirement

The virus sampling tubes are loaded with infectious substances, and some are even highly pathogenic and sexy substances. Therefore, the requirements for packaging containers are very strict, and they must meet the requirements of three aspects at the same time:

1. The safety of transportation.

Ensure that the sample does not leak during transportation. Sampling tubes that comply with WHO regulations and biosafety regulations.

2. The safety of preservation.

Ensure that the sample does not leak during storage. Sampling tubes that comply with WHO regulations and biosafety regulations.

3. The validity of the sample.

Ensure that the sampling tube itself will not be toxic to the sample.
