What is ViroStabl™ UTM?
ViroStabl™ is a universal transport medium (UTM) from Ruhvenile® Biomedical. It collects, preserves and transports swab specimens for viral culture, genetic testing and molecular analysis.
Culture and molecular testing from one swab
Pathogens stay viable for culture and isolation, and nucleic acids stay intact for PCR and other molecular tests, from the same specimen.
Five-day room-temperature transport
Specimens are supported for up to 120 hours at 2–25°C without a cold chain. After preservation, they keep up to 5 days at room temperature and 1 year at -80°C. The medium has a shelf life of 12–18 months at room temperature.
Organisms covered
SARS-CoV-2, influenza A/B, RSV and rhinovirus, as well as chlamydiae, mycoplasma and ureaplasma.
