Serachem India Private Ltd. have been successfully able to develop a transport media for CORONA virus by deactivating it. This means, now we don't have to be at risk while transporting the samples for testing to lab. Also, at present, as per the laid guidelines of ICMR Corona Virus testing can only be done in Biosafe Level-III laboratories. Which are very limited in no. Reason for the same is due to high level of security required in handling the virus. But now when we use STM Viral Transport Medium and Total Nucleic Acid Preservation System provides a rapid and simple method for the collection, preservation and shipping of swab samples in place of VTM (Viral Transport Medium) handling of the virus will be very safe and tests can now be conducted by any testing lab without posing a spread risk. This breakthrough will help in stopping the possible outbreak inside testing labs and hospitals and prevent a bigger disaster.
Advantages of STM Viral Transport Medium:
1. No threat of exposure to live virus.
2. The Swab Preservative not only inactivates viruses but also prevents the growth of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and fungi allowing the resulting non-infectious samples to be handled and shipped safely.
3. The sample can be transported and preserved at room temperature for up to 3 days. (The sample does not get spoiled).
4. No need of having Biosafe Level -III safety norms in labs.
5. No chance of spreading of the virus in labs.
6. Safe for the institutions and their lab staff and medical staffs.
7. Testing facility can be increased exponentially.
8. More sample collection centres can be developed which will help in developing post outbreak strategies.
9. It has also been approved by ICMR.
10. Comes with two sterile Polyester Swabs with visible break point.
11. Price is almost same as VTM Kit.
Two separately packed sterile synthetic fibre NYLON swabs with break point.
