Virus sampling swabs are commonly used virus sampling methods combined with PCR and can be used for rapid detection of viral diseases. However, not every sample collection site can perform PCR detection, so it is necessary to transport the collected virus swab samples. So the swab virus preservation solution came into being.
Viruses are composed of a nucleic acid molecule and protein or only protein. Individuals are small and simple in structure. Common epidemic infectious diseases are usually RNA viruses. Such as influenza virus, HIV, influenza A virus. Because there is no cell structure, the virus cannot replicate itself, but invades its genes into the host cell, using the latter's replication system to replicate new viruses. After the virus sample is collected, in order to maintain the viability of the virus sample and prolong the survival time of the virus in the sample, the sampling swab will be stored and transported in the preservation solution.
The virus preservation solution (inactivated type) uses high-concentration salt to quickly inactivate and preserve respiratory pathogens, so that the sample loses infectivity. The inactivated samples can be matched with a variety of viral DNA/RNA extraction test kits. The M32/M96 Nucleic Acid Extractor quickly extracts nucleic acids, and at the same time cooperates with the PCR detection kit for respiratory pathogens to achieve rapid detection. The specific sensitivity is not affected.
