Virus Transport Medium(Inactivate)

Virus transport medium (VTM) is a specially formulated medium for collection, transport and long term freeze storage of viruses. It is designed to maintain the optimum viability and virulence of the viral sample. The collection system uses nylon flocking swabs, which are non-toxic to micro organisms and can maximize the collectionand release of specimens.
