Viral Transport Medium

Viral Transport Medium (VTM) allows the safe transfer of viruses for further research, including diagnostic tests, and molecular biology techniques. With virus-stable ingredients, added antibiotics and fungicides, VTM maintain the viral structure and activity over a wide temperature range and suppress the growth of contaminating bacteria and fungi. This facilitates the extraction of nucleic acid for the subsequent sample preparation for testing. Inactivating version of the VTM, maintain the RNA structure of the viruses while destructing the outer structure.
