2024年11月12日 · As the COVID-19 Transport Media Policy is no longer in effect, this page no longer includes a list of commercial manufacturers developing and distributing viral transport media (VTM) under the...

2021年1月1日 · Starting with this custom VTM recipe that could be prepared in bulk with available high quality research reagents, along with leftover research supplies (15 mL conical tubes, serological pipettes, etc.), OSUWMC was able to create an effective yet unusual FDA-approved COVID-19 virus transport test kit.

The World Health Organization, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the UK government have each provided recommendations for the formulation of VTM solutions to be used for the collection of specimens for SARS-CoV-2 testing and comment that a supplement of protein or glycerol should be added to enhance the stability of ...

2021年3月10日 · We describe the preparation and validation testing of VTM for rapidly expanding diagnostic testing, where the capacity of the VTM to preserve viral integrity, for culture, isolation and full sequence analysis, was maintained. VTM was prepared using different methods of sterilization then ‘spiked’ with virus.

VTM was prepared using different methods of sterilization then ‘spiked’ with virus.

The in-house preparation of VTM in the face of severe supply shortages remains critical, and maintaining the stability of the virus to be detected is of utmost importance to ensure optimal laboratory results, appropriate laboratory diagnosis to confirm COVID-19 infection, and successful performance of testing in-house.

Starting with this custom VTM recipe that could be prepared in bulk with available high quality research reagents, along with leftover research supplies (15 mL conical tubes, serological pipettes, etc.), OSUWMC was able to create an effective yet unusual FDA-approved COVID-19 virus transport test kit.

Precautionary measures of physical isolation, social distancing, and masks have all aided in controlling the spread of COVID-19. However, detection of the virus is crucial to implement isolation of infected individuals. This paper presents the innovative repurposing of lab materials, workspace, and …
