The policies outlined in the COVID-19 Transport Media Policy only apply to transport media that are intended to sustain the viability of viruses/other organisms and therefore, do not contain substances such as guanidinium/guanidine or similar chemicals intended to inactivate viruses. MTM is specifically designed to safely inactivate pathogenic samples while preserving and stably releasing DNA and RNA. TCID50 and blind passage techniques were used to test for any infectious virus still recoverable from all samples treated with the inactivation reagents.

Learn how PrimeStore MTM, a novel viral transport media, enables safe molecular testing for multiple pathogens from one sample swab when compared to standard viral transport media. No meaningful difference in viral yield from different swabs and most transport mediums for the collection and detection of SARS-CoV-2, indicating swab and medium alternatives could be used if supplies run out. Only one swab is required, however, if two swabs are used to sample the same source, the specimen is acceptable. ARUP's test is based on the CDC assay but has been optimized for state-of-the-art instrumentation and an automated specimen extraction process. 4OO004, 4OO009, BioSci Disposable Virus Sampling Tube, SNT Biotech Disposable Virus Sampling Tube, Zhejiang Sorfa Life Sciences Research Co Ltd, Citoswab Collection and Transport Kit, P/N 2118-0419, Sample Preservation Solutions (LS-C-P-018). Unlike most standard sample collection systems MTM removes cold chain requirements for sample collection and transportation, ensuring RNA stability at ambient temperatures. Preserves viruses and chlamydiae for long-term frozen storage. Use sterile swab to remove mucous or exudate and discard. It is available in 1 mL or 3 mL vials in a flat-bottomed conical tube, regular polyester-tipped swabs, and a flexible minitip flocked swab (plastic or wire). Results showed that of the specimen transport reagents tested, PrimeStore MTM was one of just two such reagents from which no residual virus was detectable by either TCID50 or by the passaging of treated purified sample.
