Laboratory operators cannot do the detection of PCR after the collection of virus samples usually, so it is necessary to transport and preserve collected virus sample in medium. Biologix supplies 2 types of medium: Inactivated medium and classic (non-inactivated) medium to meet the different requirements of detection and different laboratory conditions of virus detection.

Biologix inactivated transport and preservation medium: The guanidine salt in medium is designed to rapidly inactivate viruses (including SARS-CoV-2 and Influenza), bacteria and high consequence veterinary pathogens within the sample, and to enable safer and more efficient operation for molecular testing and sequencing. The cold chain is not needed for transportation from collection to the laboratory.  It disrupts/lyses lipid membranes, destroys proteins and enzymes, inactivates nucleases and proteases, inactivates infectious biological pathogens, including gram-positive/negative bacteria and viruses, and preserves/stabilizes ‘naked’ RNA/DNA at elevated temperatures.

Biologix classic medium (non-inactivated medium): It can keep the activity of virus in vitro and the integrity of antigen and nucleic acid, and protect the protein shell of virus from decomposition and maintain the original nature of virus samples. In addition to nucleic acid extraction and detection. However, samples must be stored in low temperature after collection for long-term preservation. After sampling requires strict low temperature.

Bolgoix supplies types of disposable virus collection tube & transportation, preservation medium and kits: d mediums are in stock, and available: Inactivated and Classic (non-inactivated) medium, 2ml medium and 3ml medium, nasal swab and oral swab.
