HiMedia supports in Coronavirus Endemic with HIVIRALTM VIRAL TRANSPORT SYSTEMS (VTM)
- by Team ABLE - 11 Apr, 2020
A major factor that drives the fate of Coronavirus detection test depends on how a sample is collected from a patient and transported to labs for testing. In pursuit of extending support during this outbreak, the Virus Transport Media Kits from HiMedia are being extensively manufactured for collection and transportation of viruses from the collection sites to testing laboratories.
The clinical Viral Sample Collection and Transportation Medium should be able to keep the coronavirus (if present in the collected sample) stable till the time they reach testing labs. The medium should be time gap tolerant, temperature independent and at the same time it should not allow growth of other bacteria and fungi in the collected clinical specimens.
HiMedia, with its core expertise in media development with 45 years of experience has successfully developed the ideal VTM decades ago.
In current situation when India faces the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic, it is great opportunity for HiMedia to serve for Nation by aiding continuous supply of our VTM kit.
Composition of this medium has been optimized in such a way that it has higher osmotic strength and buffering capacity, thereby protecting the virus in extreme climatic conditions from hot tropical climates to colder climates. This feature makes HiViralTM Transport Media stand one step ahead of other commercial media manufactured as per CDA guidelines.
These media are manufactured in bulk (more than 1000L/ batch) under WHO-GMP and ISO norms using automated systems with minimal manual intervention and certified facilities. CE Marked for IVD (98/79/EC).
These media have been validated not only by the most reputed Indian Institutes – NIV and ICMR but also by foreign government authorities including Europe (Netherland and Portugal), Middle East and Hong Kong.
Although on a higher side when it comes to price, the HiViralTM VTM kit is the best with regards to certifications and validations. The Himedia VTM kits are most reliable.
HiMedia is a very dependable partner and our kits will give health authorities and doctors the peace of mind to diagnose and detect correctly with maximum specificity and sensitivity.
