Virus Sampling Tube
Product Code : EL-TT-10311
Lab Glassware Manufacturer manufactures and exports the Virus Sampling Tube from its production base in Ambala, Haryana, in continuous operation since 1982, supplying school and college science laboratories, university and research departments, and export buyers that have recently included institutions in Chad, Niger and Mali — part of a wider base of enquiries from across the Sahel region.
Quick answer: A Virus Sampling Tube (viral transport tube) is used to collect, transport and store virus specimens in a preservation medium, keeping the sample viable between collection and laboratory testing. Lab Glassware Manufacturer's tube uses a Hanks Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) based formula with added bovine serum albumin (BSA) and antibiotics, stored at 5°C to 25°C.
Virus Sampling Tube — Specification
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Preservation medium | Hanks Balanced Salt Solution (HBSS) formula with bovine serum albumin (BSA) and antibiotics |
| Function | Prevents bacterial and fungal contamination; maintains virus activity for nucleic acid detection, virus isolation and related testing |
| Storage temperature | 5°C to 25°C |
Why the Preservation Medium Matters
A viral sample degrades quickly once collected, and bacterial or fungal contamination in transit can compromise downstream testing such as nucleic acid detection or virus isolation. The HBSS-based medium with added BSA and antibiotics is formulated to keep the sample stable and free of contaminating organisms across the 5–25°C storage range specified, which covers typical ambient and refrigerated transport conditions. Follow your testing laboratory's specific collection and cold-chain protocol alongside this product specification.
