Product
Name: Virus Transport Medium
Product
Code: HBPT8661
Packing: 3 mL/vial*20 vials/inner box*20 inner
boxes/carton
Intended
Use: Used for the transportation and
preservation of virus specimens in clinical collection.
Part
II: Detection Principle:
Hank’s
balanced salt builds a neutral environment; Bovine serum albumin(bsa) acts as a
protein stabilizer, increases the survival time of the virus together with
Hank’s balanced salt; Antibiotics have broad-spectrum antimicrobial effect; Phenol red is the sterile indicator.(pH
scale:6.6~8.0,show red between 7.2 and 7.4)
Part
III: Approximate Ingredients:
Hank’s
balanced salt, phenol red, bovine serum albumin, Gentamicin, Polymyxin B.
