Viral transport medium, also known as VTM, is a specialized solution used for transporting and preserving viruses for laboratory analysis. It is designed to maintain the viability of the virus during transportation and storage, while also preventing any contamination or degradation. VTM typically contains a buffering agent, protein stabilizers, and antibiotics to ensure the integrity of the sample. It is commonly used for diagnostic purposes, including testing for viruses such as influenza, COVID-19, and others. Proper handling and storage of VTM samples are crucial to ensure accurate and reliable test results.
- Maintains virus viability: Viral transport medium is designed to preserve the integrity and viability of the virus during transportation and storage.
- Prevents contamination: The solution contains antibiotics and other agents to prevent contamination by other microorganisms and maintain the purity of the sample.
- Includes stabilizers: Viral transport medium typically includes protein stabilizers and buffering agents to protect the virus and ensure that it remains intact during storage and transportation.
