Σ-Virocult Virus specimen transport medium

Σ- Virocult has long been recognised as one of the best transport devices for viruses, demonstrating survival of many types of virus at ambient temperatures, including Corona Virus (COVID), Herpes Simplex Virus, Varicella-Zoster Virus, Influenza Type A (including Novel HIN I, HSN I, and H3N2) , Influenza Type B, respiratory syncytial virus, mumps virus, adenovirus, rhinovirus, and various enterovirus.Virocult medium stabilises virus particles allowing long survival, and contains antimicrobials to prevent the growth of any bacteria and fungi present in the specimen. Virocult Medium Optimum recovery of target organisms Recovers wide range of respiratory, genital and enteric viruses Optimum compatibility with molecular test systems Antibiotics inhibit bacteria and fungi Transport specimens at ambient temperatures Σ-Swab Swab and Tube Open-celled foam bud for optimum absorption and release Optimum performance with molecular test systems Breakpoint for easy handling, ensures exact fit of swab in tube and swab capture Self-standing for convenience l Inner Conical base – can be centrifuged Screw cap with integral swab capture CE-marked Sigma-Virocult conforms to the requirements of the European Medical Devices Directive and In Vitro Medical Devices Directives Validated to M40-A Virocult & Sigma-Virocult are validated according to CLSl ( Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute ) M40-A standard for viral culture transport devices, which requires survival of reference strains for at least 96 hours at ambient or refrigerated temperatures.
