The main components of the preservation solution are Hank's Balanced Salt Solution, which can help to stabilize the virus. Phenol red was added to the preservation solution to indicate the preservation state. Antibiotics were added to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungus. Keeping the pharynx swabs, nasopharyngeal and sputum swabs in the tube facilitates the subsequent experiments.
Store at 2-30°C for 2 years.
Providing a stable environment for the collection, transportation, and storage of the virus, which can maintain the activity of the virus for a long time, under-speed ofvirus decomposition, and improve the virus isolation and detection rate. Antibiotics and phenol red are added in the solution.
Among them, antibiotics can inhibit the growth of miscellaneous bacteria, and phenol red is used to indicate the preservation state.
The tube body is transparent with good visibility.
Hank's can help to stabilize the virus and activate the virus for culture without affecting virus activity and infection ability.
While PBS is widely used and good for long-distance transportation and preservation, can't inactivate or activate samples.
