Product description

Disposable virus sampling tubes(Disposable Vtm) are usually divided into two types, one is a non-inactivated type, which can protect the protein and nucleic acid of the virus, and the other is an inactivated type, which usually contains a lysis salt of inactivated virus, which cleavages the protein to protect the nucleic acid.

Inactivated Disposable Virus Sampling Tube

The virus preservation solution added with lysis salt is an inactivated virus preservation solution. The main purpose of the Tris, lysis salt, EDTA, etc. contained in it is to lyse the nucleic acid to release the nucleic acid, so that the nucleic acid can be detected by the subsequent real-time fluorescent RT-PCR. This is to determine whether the sample contains virus characteristic nucleic acid, that is, whether it is infected with the virus. Nucleic acid is a biological macromolecular compound formed by the polymerization of many nucleotides, including deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), and is one of the most basic substances of life. The virus has a single structure and contains only one type of nucleic acid and protein. Therefore, the virus will be detected if the characteristic nucleic acid is detected. Viruses are parasitic organisms and cannot survive outside the body after sampling. If they cannot be detected in time, they need to be placed in the virus preservation solution. In order to protect the safety of the virus detection environment, it is necessary to add lysis salt to inactivate the virus and release the nucleic acid that can be detected.

Features of our disposable virus sampling tube (inactivated type)

1. Simple operation and use, no need to prepare liquid, the system contains high-efficiency virus lysate, the virus is inactivated immediately after sampling, effectively preventing the risk of secondary infection, and ensuring the safety of transportation and testing personnel;

2. Viral DNA/RNA can be stored and transported at room temperature for 1 week without degradation. After extraction according to most commercial kits, the DNA/RNA obtained is of good quality and high yield, and can complete various genetic testing and analysis experiments. Such as PCR, qPCR, etc., while saving transportation costs;

3. Contains nucleic acid RNase inhibitors to maximize the protection of viral nucleic acids from being degraded and greatly improve the efficiency of nucleic acid extraction.

4. Our Inactivated Disposable Virus Sampling Tube is suitable for the collection, preservation and transportation of common virus samples such as new coronavirus, influenza virus, hand, foot and mouth virus. It can collect throat swabs and nasal test samples or tissue samples of specific parts. The stored samples can be used for subsequent clinical trials such as nucleic acid extraction or purification.
