A virus sampling tube is a product used to collect and transport infectious disease specimens. It is not a single product, but a set of products consisting of a sampling swab, a sampling preservation solution and a plastic tube. The sampling process: the swab is used to sample the patient, the preservation solution is placed in the plastic tube, the sample is placed in the plastic tube preservation solution for preservation, and the preserved sample is transported to the laboratory to begin testing.

Special Instructions for Virus Sampling Tubes.

If the collected sample is used for detection of viral nucleic acids, it must be used together with a nucleic acid extraction kit and nucleic acid detection reagents; if it will be used for virus isolation, it must be used in combination with cell culture media.

Different applications have different requirements for the volume of the sampling solution, please replace the appropriate product as indicated in the sequential information at

For virus sampling tubes used to collect virus samples from clinical patients, the volume of liquid required is usually smaller

For disposable virus sampling tubes for the collection and short-term delivery of influenza virus from the external environment, the required volume of fluid is typically five to six milliliters.

Virus sampling tubes have three requirements, including transport, storage and usefulness of the sample.

For transportation, it is important to ensure that the sample does not leak during transport;

In terms of storage, the sample must not leak during storage;

In the sample usefulness, to ensure that the sampling tube itself does not have a toxic effect on the sample to sample, so as not to affect the substances collected in the sampling tube, and thus affect the test results. As the sampling tube is filled with infectious substances, and some are even highly pathogenic substances, so the packaging container requirements are high.
