SIGMA-VIROCULT® Confirmed as Compatible Bosch Vivalytic Analyser
Following some extensive testing Bosch has confirmed SIGMA VIROCULT®,(Ref. MW951T) transport medium fully compatible with the Vivalytic SARS-CoV-2, Flu A/B, and RSV assay. This provides labs with greater flexibility and efficiency in respiratory virus just as the COVID, RSV & FLU season begins to ramp up.
Why Choose SIGMA-VIROCULT®?
SIGMA-VIROCULT® has been specially developed to maintain the integrity of viruses at ambient temperatures, making it an ideal solution for sample collection in any location. This eliminates the complexities and costs associated with temperature-regulated transport, streamlining operations and reducing the need for excessive storage space.
Moreover, SIGMA-VIROCULT® offers an extended shelf life of 24 months, which makes it perfect for laboratories looking to stock up on viral transport media in anticipation of unforeseen testing spikes. This longer shelf life reduces the risk of overstocking while ensuring that you are prepared for any surge in demand.
In addition to its longevity, SIGMA-VIROCULT® seamlessly fits into your laboratory workflow. It is designed for compatibility with molecular and cell culture systems, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of applications.
The following transport media is now compatible with Bosch’s Vivalytic system: SIMGA-VIROCULT®,
If you’re using a Vivalytic fully automated PCR instrument, it’s easy to take advantage of this new functionality by installing a simple XML file, available for download from Bosch’s Knowledge Space.
