Virus sampling tube is a complete set of sampling and transportation centrifuge tube for influenza virus, hand-foot-mouth virus and other viruses in the microbial sampling transportation tube, also known as the specimen transportation tube. Due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, countries have The demand for virus sampling tubes has expanded accordingly.

1. Composition:

1. Sampling swab with disposable sterile plastic rod/man-made fiber head

2. A sterile sampling tube containing 3ml of virus maintenance solution (Gentamicin and amphotericin B are used to better inhibit the fungus in the sample. Avoid the human sensitization that may be caused by penicillin in the traditional sampling solution.)

3. There are additional parts such as tongue depressor and biological safety bag.

2. Purpose:

1. It is suitable for sampling of coronaviruses, influenza viruses (common influenza, highly pathogenic avian influenza, A H1N1 influenza virus, etc.), hand, foot and mouth virus and other types of viruses. It is also used for sampling of Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, Ureaplasma, etc.

2. Used to transport nasopharyngeal swab specimens from the sampling site to the testing laboratory for PCR extraction and testing.

3. Sampling requirements:

Specimens should be transported to the corresponding laboratory within 2 working days after collection, and the storage temperature is 2-8℃; if they cannot be sent to the laboratory within 48 hours, they should be stored at -70℃ or below, and the collected specimens should be guaranteed Send to the corresponding laboratory within 1 week. Specimens should avoid repeated freezing and thawing.

4. Operation steps:

1. According to sampling requirements, collect samples with sampling swabs.

2. Place the sampling swab after collecting the sample into the sampling tube.

3. Break the swab at the easy-break point of the sampling swab rod and discard the tail.

4. Tighten the cap of the sampling tube.

6. The specimen should be transported to the corresponding laboratory within 2 working days after collection, and the storage temperature is 2-8℃; if it cannot be sent to the laboratory within 48 hours, it should be stored at -70℃ or below, and the collection should be guaranteed The specimens will be sent to the corresponding laboratory within 1 week. Specimens should avoid repeated freezing and thawing.5. Mark the information as required on the label of the sampling tube.

7. Specific sampling methods can refer to the following:

1) Pharyngeal swab specimen: Use a special sampling swab to wipe the posterior pharyngeal wall and the tonsils on both sides with moderate force, avoid touching the tongue; quickly immerse the swab head in the sampling liquid, and the sampling swab rod is easy to break Break the swab at the intercept point and discard the tail. (Applicable to sampling of this product)

2) Nasal swab specimen: Use a special sampling swab to gently insert the swab head into the nasal palate in the nasal passage, and then slowly turn to exit after a while; quickly immerse the swab head in the sampling liquid, Break off the swab at the breaking point and discard the tail. (Applicable to sampling of this product)

Five, matters needing attention:

1. It is forbidden to directly contact the person being collected with the sampling liquid.

2. It is forbidden to soak the swab with the sampling liquid before sampling.

3. This product is a disposable product and is only used for the collection, transportation and storage of clinically collected virus specimens. It should not be used beyond the intended use.

4. The product must not be used after the expiry date or the product packaging is damaged.

5. It is strictly forbidden to use if the color of the transport fluid is changed (the normal color is pink).

6. When collecting virus samples, professionals should strictly follow the sampling procedures; when samples are tested, they should be operated in a laboratory that meets the safety level.

7. The specimen should be transported to the corresponding laboratory within 2 working days after collection, and the storage temperature should be 2～8℃; if it cannot be sent to the laboratory within 48h, it should be stored at -70℃ or below, and the collection should be guaranteed The specimens will be sent to the corresponding laboratory within 1 week. Specimens should avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
