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.
10-15 ml volume screw-cap, leak-proof self-standing tubes containing 2-3 ml viral
transport medium (VTM)
Vial has labeling stickers
ï?? The pH is 7.3+ 0.3 and the osmolality in mOsm/Kg H20 500.00-600.00
The medium is stable at room temperature.
STM meets European CE-IVD / US-FDA approved. Approved by ICMR.

Viral Transport Kit
VTM's - Virus Collection & Preservation System Used for universal virus collection and storage in a short time. Class 1
VTM kits With 3ml viral transport medium in a 15ml culture tube recommended for collection and transport of viruses
The disposable virus sampling tube/Virus Transport Medium(VTM) is suitable for nucleic acid extraction of SARS-CoV-2 virus, various influenza viruses, avian influenza viruses, rubella, swine fever and other virus samples. The disposable virus sampling tube/Virus Transport Medium(VTM) is suitable for nucleic acid extraction of SARS-CoV-2 virus, various influenza viruses, avian influenza viruses, rubella, swine fever and other virus samples. It is also suitable for the collection and transportation of specimens of Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, and Mycoplasma Arthroplasma. Samples are usually collected from the mouth, throat, nasal cavity, and anus. Sampling tube: The tube body and tube cover are made of polypropylene, which will not deform at high temperature and high pressure (121C, 15min), and will not become brittle at low temperature (196C). Resistant to static extrusion and dynamic impact. The bottom tapered design is resistant to centrifugation and vibration. Built-in sample preservation solution is used for sample preservation to prevent leakage. Sample preservation solution: Functioned with virus lysis solution and virus nucleic acid preservation solution. The virus lysate realizes the inactivation of the virus in the sample and reduces the risk of secondary infection. The unique protection system can prevent nucleic acid from being degraded and improve the accuracy of downstream detection. The sample has a wide adaptability and can be used for the collection, preservation and transportation of various swabs. Sampling swabs: sampling swabs are flocking sampling heads, which are non-toxic to cells and viruses, and do not contain RNase, which can greatly increase the collection and release of virus samples , ensure the accuracy of PCR detection results. The plastic rod is made of ABS, with a unique molded breaking point design, and there is no tiny debris during the breaking process. Features: 1.More collection and release:nylon flocked swabs provide optimum specimen collection because of their ability to collect more specimen at the collection site and to more rapidly release the entire samples specime 2. High safety factor: it can lyse pathogens, inactivate viruses, and reduce the risk of secondary infection. 3. Stable nucleic acid: a unique protection system that can prevent nucleic acid from being degraded and improve the accuracy of downstream detection. 4. Wide sample adaptability: it can be used for the collection, preservation and transportation of various swabs,Including oral swabs, throat swabs, nasal swabs, vaginal swabs and so on.
