Starting in March 2020, increasing demand for testing COVID-19 led to a shortage of both NP swabs and VTM has created significant bottlenecks in large-scale testing efforts. In addition, the quality of the VTM and the sample collecting skill together highly influences the reliability of the laboratory results. Q-Line® Molecular VTM kit has long been recognized as one of the leading transport devices in India, demonstrating survival of SARS CoV 2 virion at ambient temperatures.
Q-Line® Molecular VTM kit consists of a viral transport medium with set of 2 individually packed sterile polyester swabs; designed for maximum patient comfort. The VTM tube featrures a 3cc volume in a 10cc tube with a stand base. Technically, every batch of VTM undergoes a rigorous quality parameters check including viral recovery rate before they were released to ensure the viability of the sample; post transportation and the safety of healthcare personnel handling the samples.
