Saline Oral Sampling Kit (2 mL & 3 mL) Normal Saline (0.85% NaCl) Viral Sampling and Transport Kit (+ Oral Swab)

DESCRIPTION

Med Biosciences Saline Oral Viral Sampling and Transport Kit contains 2 mL (Cat. No. K-NSV01-OPN01-2ML & Cat. No. K-NSV01-OPN02-2ML) or 3 mL (Cat. No. K-NSV01-OPN01-3ML & Cat. No. K-NSV01-OPN02-3ML) of Normal Saline Viral Transport Medium (Cat. No. Cat. No. NSV01-2ML [2 mL], or Cat. No. Cat. No. NSV01-3ML [3 mL]), individually packaged and sterile Oral and Oropharyngeal iSwab™ (Cat. No. OPN-001, or OPN-002), and Biohazard Ziplock Bags 6″ x 9″ (Cat. No. ZIP-001).

The kit is used to collect oral, and oropharyngeal swab sample from patients suspected with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID19) viral infection and other types of RNA or DNA viruses. The collected swab specimen is transported in the saline solution to diagnostic laboratories for molecular analysis. Normal saline transport medium serves as a culture medium for non-propagating transport of specimens.

This kit can be also used in skin lesions specimen collection and transport for viral diagnostic analysis such as Monkeypox virus.

Kit Options:
We offer 4 options of Saline Oral Viral Sampling and Transport Kit that differ in the volume of the saline solution in tubes (2 mL or 3 mL), and the built-in breakpoint of the oropharyngeal iSwab™ (80 mm from the tip, or 30 mm from the tip). (Please see the table)

Catalog #	Volume of Saline Solution in Tubes	Oropharyngeal iSwab Catalog #	Oropharyngeal Swab Breakpoint (mm from swab tip)
Cat. No. K-NSV01-OPN01-2ML	2 mL	OPN-001	80 mm
Cat. No. K-PBV01-OP02-2ML	2 mL	OPN-001	80 mm
Cat. No. K-NSV01-OPN01-3ML	3 mL	OPN-001	80 mm
Cat. No. K-NSV01-OPN02-2ML	2 mL	OPN-002	30 mm
Cat. No. K-NSV01-OPN02-3ML	3 mL	OPN-002	30 mm

Saline Solution Tubes (2 mL or 3 mL):
Sterile, DNAse/RNase & protease free Normal Saline, containing 0.85% (w/v) Sodium Chloride (NaCl) aqueous solution to meet your laboratory needs.

Our solution is formulated from ultrapure Sodium Chloride (ACS, ≥99.5%, CAS # 7647-14-5, Formula Weight= 58.44) in Autoclaved 18.2 mega Ω-cm, and DNase/RNase-free Water.

Our saline solution is suitable for numerous molecular biology tests including collection, preservation, and transport of SARS-CoV-2 clinical specimens. Normal saline transport medium serves as a culture medium for non-propagating transport of specimens.

Our Saline Solution is provided in a polypropylene (cryogenic, leak-proof, shatter-proof, sterile, and DNase/RNase-free) tubes allowing the storage of samples under different temperatures (ambient to -80 ᴼC).

Prepared according to the American Center for Disease Control and Prevention CDC’s standard formulation for saline solution.

Sterile solution (autoclaved and filtered through 0.22 µm membrane).

Confirmed tests for the absence of DNase, RNase, and Protease activity.

Oropharyngeal Swab:
OPN-001 and OPN-002 iSwabs™ are High-quality oral and oropharyngeal swabs that are flocked using soft brush-like medical-grade Nylon Microfibers, which do not to interfere with subsequent molecular analysis of the collected samples.

Our Saline Oral Sampling and Transport Kits are available with two oropharyngeal swab options: OPN-001, having the built-in breakpoint at 80 mm from the tip side (Cat. No. K-NSV01-OPN01-2ML, and Cat. No. K-NSV01-OPN01-3ML); and OPN-002, having the same breakpoint at 30 mm from the tip side (Cat. No. K-NSV01-OPN02-2ML, and K Cat. No. K-NSV01-OPN02-3ML).

We use special flocking technology that grants optimum sample collection and subsequent analysis.

The special Nylon Microfibers on swab tips designed to maximize adsorption capacity to viral particles upon sample collection, and high releasing capacity of the harvested sample particles to liquid media, with the least entrapment of particles in the swab tip.

In addition to human sampling, our oropharyngeal Swabs can be also used for collecting samples from human skin and vagina, and oral samples from animals.

Swabs are individually wrapped in plastic PE/paper easy-peel pouches.

Certified sterilization by radiation for the packaged swabs.

Specimen Biohazard Bag:
100pcs 6×9 in/15x23cm High quality Ziplock top Biohazard Specimen Bags for storing and shipping biological specimens.

prominent red/orange and black biohazard logo bags alert others to handle or store samples carefully.

With a self-sealing zipper on the head, High quality reusable sealing belt, you can easily open and reseal the bag.
