Labaid Universal Viral Collection Kit is a viral transport system designed to collect and transport viruses, chlamydiae, mycoplasmas and urea plasmas at ambient temperature. The media contains Guanidine Thiocyanate that deactivates microbial contaminants and stabilizes RNA, allowing the user to safely conduct lab tests. 

The viral collection kit combines a flexible minitip collection swab and 10 ml vial for collection. It is one of the only systems that may be stored and transported at 0°c to 25° C-all in one formulation.
