Requirements for the use of disposable virus sampling tubes

　　GST automation equipment manufacturers in the past few years have developed and manufactured automatic production lines for vector sampling tubes, also found that some customers and partners are not very familiar with disposable virus sampling tubes, so this time GST Technology is dedicated to introduce the requirements for the use of disposable virus sampling tubes!

　　Disposable virus sampling tubes are centrifuge tubes that we use to save samples after sampling with sampling swabs, so do you know what the requirements for the use of virus sampling tubes are?

　　Sample requirements for disposable virus sampling tubes: collected nasopharyngeal swab samples should be transported at 2℃~8℃ and examined immediately, and samples should be transported and preserved for no more than 48h.

　　Inspection methods for disposable virus sampling tubes.

　　1. Disposable virus sampling tube before sampling, the relevant sampling information is displayed on the label of the sampling tube.

　　2. Disposable virus sampling tube according to the different sampling requirements, sampling swabs in the nasopharyngeal area for sampling.

　　3. The specific sampling methods of disposable virus sampling tubes are as follows.

　　Nasal swab: insert the swab head gently into the nasal palate inside the nasal tract, stay for a while and then slowly rotate to exit. Then use another swab to wipe the other nostril, dip the swab head into the sampling solution and throw away the tail.

　　Pharyngeal swab: wipe both sides of the pharyngeal tonsils as well as the posterior pharyngeal wall with the pharyngeal swab, again dipping the swab head into the sampling fluid and throwing away the tail.

　　4. quickly put the swab into the sampling tube.

　　5. Break the part of the sampling swab that is higher than the sampling tube and tighten the cap.

　　6. Freshly collected clinical specimens should be transported to the laboratory at 2℃~8℃ and within 48 hours.

　　Uses of virus sampling tube.

　　1. For disease control parts, clinical parts of the infection pathogenic microorganisms monitoring sampling use. Suitable for influenza virus (general influenza, highly pathogenic avian influenza, influenza A (H1N1) virus, etc.), hand, foot and mouth virus and other types of virus sampling. Also used for sampling of Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, Mycoplasma solium, etc.

　　2. Used to transport nasopharyngeal swab specimens or site-specific configuration specimens from the sampling site to the testing laboratory for PCR extraction and detection.

　　3. Save nasopharyngeal swab samples or site-specific configuration specimens for necessary cell culture.
