Universal Viral Transport System
Room Temperature Viability for Viruses, Chlamydiae,
Mycoplasmas and Ureaplasmas
BD Universal Viral Transport (UVT) System includes a single formulation that is
room temperature stable. BD UVT can sustain viability (and infectivity) of a plurality
of organisms that include clinically important viruses, chlamydiae, mycoplasmas and
ureaplasmas. The formulation of BD UVT medium is specially designed to include
protein for stabilization, antibiotics to minimize bacterial and fungal contamination
and a buffer to maintain a neutral pH. As a result, viruses and clamydiae can be
preserved for long-term storage when frozen.
The unique BD UVT formulation offers flexible transport temperature in a single
formulation eliminating the potential for false negative results and sample rejection
due to improper transport temperature or an incorrect formula choice.
The design of the BD Universal Viral Transport System increases laboratory efficiency
and safety with the following features:
Capture Cap – eliminates the
need for forceps to remove
the swab and reduces the risk
of contamination.
Single Media Formulation –
provides optimal environment
for viruses, chlamydiae, myco-
plasmas and ureaplasmas.
Standing Conical Tube –
reduces the chance of a
biohazardous spill.
Scored Swab – eliminates
the need for scissors.
Polyester Tip Swabs –
exhibits no toxicity to
organisms and patients.
Durable Peel Pouch –
assures sterile product
integrity.
