BD 220526 Universal Viral Transport Kit: 1 mL vial with a flexible minitip flocked swab

BD Universal Viral Transport (UVT) System includes a single formulation that is room temperature stable. BD UVT can sustain viability (and infectivity) of a plurality of organisms that include clinically important viruses, chlamydiae, mycoplasmas and ureaplasmas. The formulation of BD UVT medium is specially designed to include protein for stabilization, antibiotics to minimize bacterial and fungal contamination and a buffer to maintain a neutral pH. As a result, viruses and clamydiae can be preserved for long-term storage when frozen.

The unique BD UVT formulation offers flexible transport temperature in a single formulation eliminating the potential for false negative results and sample rejection due to improper transport temperature or an incorrect formula choice.

• Room temperature and refrigerated viability in ONE formulation
• Compatible transport medium for the BD Directigen EZ viral tests
• Designed with safety and convenience to meet your viral testing needs

BD Universal Viral Transport (UVT) System is a room temperature stable, universal medium formulation for the collection and transport of clinical specimens containing viruses, chlamydiae, mycoplasmas and ureaplasma from the collection site to the testing laboratory. The formulation of BD UVT medium is specially designed to include protein for stabilisation, antibiotics to minimise bacterial and fungal contamination and a buffer to maintain a neutral pH.

The design of the BD Universal Viral Transport System increases laboratory efficiency and safety with the following features:

Unique Formulation of BD Universal Viral Transport Sustains viability for viruses, chlamydiae, mycoplasmas and ureaplasmas in a single formulation. Offers fl exibility in transport temperature ranges room temperature or refrigerated. Suppresses bacterial and fungal contamination by incorporating antibiotics in the medium. Preserves viruses and chlamydiae for long-term frozen storage. Utilizes a phenol red pH indicator to ensure medium integrity at the time of specimen collection. Efficient Design of BD Universal Viral Transport Available in 1 mL or 3 mL vials to allow for testing fl exibility. Flat-bottomed conical tube stands on the benchtop which reduces the risk of biohazardous spills. Capture-cap on 3 mL vial eliminates the need for forceps to remove the swab and reduces the risk of contamination. Scored swabs eliminate the need for scissors Compatibility Acceptable transport medium for the BD Directigen EZ Flu A+B and BD Directigen EZ RSV test kits. Able to be used with fl ocked swabs which feature nylon strands that use capillary action to absorb and elute the entire sample into liquid media.
