DESCRIPTION
Med Biosciences 5-fold Concentrated liquid Viral Transport Medium (5X VΤM) provides an effective economy medium that is suitable for the transport of samples suspected to contain virus. The concentrated medium is ideal for saving on price, shipping cost and storage space of the medium.
Med Biosciences (VΤM) Viral Transport Medium provides an appropriate transport and storage environment for clinical sampled swabs. Our VΤM is intended for transporting clinical specimens suspected to contain SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) for subsequent testing using biochemical, molecular assays (RNA extraction and PCR/RT-PCR), antigen assays, or other validated diagnostic protocols.
The Medium is formulated following the United States Center of Disease Control CDC SOP# DSR-052-05, Preparation of Viral Transport Medium under FDA device listing D411652 (Code JSG, Exempt).
Med Biosciences (MedBio, LLC.) is authorized by FDA to commercially manufacture and distribute Viral Transport Medium VΤM as set forth in Section IV.B of the FDA’s COVID-19 Transport Media Policy.
Our 5X VΤM is provided in 500 mL and 1000 mL sterile and DNase/RNase-free screwcap cell culture-grade PET/PETG bottles. We also offer a Ready-to-use 1x bulk medium up to 50 L, and blended powder medium kits for making 25 L and 50 media. Other options include a ready-to use VΤM in polypropylene prelabeled tubes containing 2 mL or 3 mL of medium with or without specimen collection swabs.
Our medium is produced under highest manufacturing standards. It is formulated from highly pure molecular-grade chemicals in Autoclaved 18.2 mega Ω-cm DNase-RNase-free deionized water.
The high-quality heat inactivated fetal bovine serum (FBS) used in our medium formulation is obtained from a USA dependable source and extensively tested for mycoplasma and other pathogens.
The medium is sterilized by filtration using 0.22 µM filter cartridges.
Each batch of our VΤM products is extensively evaluated for efficacy, stability, sterility and confirmed for absence of any DNase/RNase and protease activity.
To use, under aseptic conditions, dilute 1 volume of the 5X medium with 4 volumes of high-quality deionized RNase and DNase free, and sterile water. We recommend using our molecular grade water (Cat. No. WMB-500ML, and WMB-1L).
COMPOSITION:
The final concentrations in 1X diluted medium are 1X Hanks Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS), 2% Heat Inactivated FBS (Made in USA), 50 mg/mL Gentamicin Sulfate, 250 µg/mL Amphotericin B, and 0.0003% Phenol Red (pH 7.3 ± 0.1).
