Fulfilling Microbiology Needs

PRODUCT SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION A Viral Transport kit is intended for the collection and transport of clinical specimens containing viruses, chlamydiae, mycoplasmas or ureaplasmas from the collection site to the testing laboratory. It is ready to use transport swab kit, designed to maintain viral viability and transport viruses in active form for isolation. The peculiar design of the swab ensures optimal elution of the specimen into the transport medium. The kit comprises of one sterile throat swab, one nasopharyngeal swab and a tube of Viral Transport Medium The viral transport medium contains essential buffers and antibiotics required for maintaining the viability of the viruses during transport. The medium is also recommended by CDC and WHO for collection and transport of Coronavirus. The Nylon Flocked Swab contains short perpendicular nylon fiber strands attached to flexible molded plastic that results in efficient collection and release of particular matter. The flocked sp...

Out of these 7 human coronavirus strains, only 3 (SARS-CoV-2, MERS-CoV & SARS-CoV) are known to cause severe infections and have an history of causing major disease outbreaks leading to many human deaths. Coronavirus has been trending in the news ever since a member of this family has taken over the globe by causing a pandemic situation. Viral Transport Kits Get a Quote Now Most of us are familiar with this term because either we have heard about it on the news or from our known ones. But when it comes to the masses, only a few know about this family as the people have remained oblivious towards them since their discovery. So in this article, we will try to learn about this family more by exploring a little. Like any other family of viruses, coronavirus is also identified as a family of closely related viruses that cause potentially deadly diseases in mammals and birds. There are many different types of coronaviruses, out of which 7 are known to cause illnesses in humans...

Proper diagnosis of a disease is only possible when the standard procedure is correctly followed using the right tools. The same thing applies in the case of COVID-19.  When this infection was in its early stages and had just started spreading like fire, people began to panic a lot as they were clueless about this novel disease. They didn’t know about how to proceed with the testing, what samples should be tested, what are required for detecting the pathogen and many more question that needed an answer. So to pacify the situation, CDC came up with a guideline that could help the health workers in collecting the suspected samples without getting themselves infected by the virus. In the guidelines, the CDC recommends collecting and testing an upper respiratory nasopharyngeal swab(NP), for the initial diagnosis of COVID-19. The next priority is given to the oropharyngeal swabs and if collected, they should be combined in the same tube as the NP. All the swab specimens are ...

When it comes to cooking, there aren't many kids who at one time or another don't get curious about what goes on in the kitchen. It is not at all uncommon for a boy or girl to want to try their hand at preparing a meal or dessert, and parents should be very encouraging about it, as knowing how to cook is a life skill that the kids will use forever. It's also a good time to teach them about food safety at home. The great thing about teaching about food safety is that it allows you to work in so many other topics. For younger kids, spark their interest in chemistry by telling them about how surfactants, the things in cleaning products that allows them to penetrate dirt and grease and lift it away, work. Let them try cleaning the same grease with plain water, then with your favorite cleaning spray. If you have a microscope (you can get them fairly cheaply), swab a dirty counter top and let the kids see all the microscopic beasties crawling around in the goo. For ol...

Autoclavable Bags are polymer bags with superior strength. They carry a universal biohazard symbol on it, which specifies its high functionality for sterilization & disposal of hazardous/contaminated material. The main advantage with these bags is the high temperature tolerance capacity. The bags are very ideal for sterilizing the most biohazardous samples from 121-1350 C. The bags are available in 3 colors - Transparent, Red & Yellow. Each color supports for better waste management. A variety of size options are available which supports every solution for all industry requirements.
