| Instructions | Collection Instructions: Collect Naso-pharyngeal specimens according to standard protol using nylon-flocked, flexible-shaft NP swab and place in viral transport media (UTM-RT, M4, M4-RT, M5). Alternative specimen: Nasal Washing, placed in viral transport media as soon as possible Minimum volume: 1 mL Transport: Refrigerated (2-8°C) If transport time does not exceed 4 hours specimen may be transported at room temperature (18-13°C). Stability: Room temperature (18-30°C) for up to 4 hours. Refrigerated (2-8°C C) for 3 days. Frozen (<15°C)for 30 days. Minimum volume for analysis: 1 mL Reject due to: 1. Specimens collected ion Calcium alginate swabs or swabs with wooden shafts. 2. Specimens transported in transport medium other than those listed above. |
