BD Universal Viral Transport Vials 1 mL For Directigen EZ Flu A+B and Directigen EZ RSV Test Kits, 50 per Box
BD Universal Viral Transport Vials are small, 1 mL containers specifically designed for the collection and transport of viral samples for testing. They are compatible with the Directigen EZ Flu A+B and Directigen EZ RSV test kits, which are rapid diagnostic tests used for the detection of influenza A and B viruses and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). These vials are essential in ensuring the safe and reliable transportation of viral samples to the laboratory for accurate testing and diagnosis.
The vials are designed to maintain the integrity of the virus samples during transport, and provide a safe and effective medium for conducting the tests. They are made of a durable material and have a secure, leak-proof closure to ensure that the samples are not contaminated during transport. The 1 mL size is ideal for small sample volumes, such as those typically collected for respiratory virus testing.
