Stabilizing specimens from nasopharyngeal and oropharyngeal swabs on their way to the lab, this viral transport medium pairs a buffered Hank's-based solution with animal protein and sucrose to keep viruses viable.
Selective agents hold back bacterial and fungal contaminants, phenol red flags pH shifts, and the medium doubles as a cryoprotectant so samples survive freezing and thawing. Each 15 mL beige-capped tube carries a 3 mL fill, packed 20 to a box.
