More About this Item
The Vira-Pore can collect viral particles while maintaining the stability of viral RNA during sampling, transport to the laboratory, and storage before analysis. The viral RNA can then be eluted and analyzed using RT-PCR with primers specific to the virus under investigation.
The Vira-Pore viral sampling cassette featuring the ZePore™ filter has been specifically designed and validated for the collection of airborne RNA from a coronavirus or other RNA virus such as SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes coronavirus disease COVID-19), Influenza A, H1N1, H5N1, and SARS.
The Vira-Pore viral sampling cassette has been tested for collection of RNA from a surrogate virus but has not been tested for collection of RNA from the COVID-19 virus. Please see the Technical Summary explaining test methodology and test results. The customer is solely responsible for compliance with (i) the Instructions for Use of the product and (ii) all applicable governmental laws, rules, regulations and industry standards related to the use and safe handling of the product and the packaging, labeling and shipment of the product after collection of airborne RNA. Environmental Express recommends that you seek guidance from a qualified environmental microbiology laboratory with expertise in viruses before performing any air sampling. Seek direction, safe handling and transporting procedures as SARS-CoV-2 is highly contagious pathogen with significant health concerns if exposed.
