Product Description
Standardize specimen collection with ready-to-use samplers that pair a prefilled vial with the medium your assay needs. Choose inactivated transport medium (ITM) for room-temperature shipping, viral transport medium (VTM) for viable virus workflows, or saline for simple molecular collection, with or without sterile oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal swabs.
This listing is for NEST catalog number 202016: 10 mL Sampler Vial with 3 mL VTM, with Sterile Oropharyngeal Swab, Individual Kit, Case of 100 Kits (100 x 1).
