Swab and Viral Transport Medium Market Analysis
The medical landscape is in the midst of an
upheaval with another bottleneck confronting
healthcare systems worldwide. The proliferation
of molecular diagnostic testing amid pandemics
such as COVID-19 has seen plummeting sales of
critical equipment needed to collect and
transport samples. This has ramped up production
of swabs and transport media thus giving an
impetus to the swab and viral transport medium
market. Demand Remains Buoyant as COVID-19
Testing Ramps up Presently the world is
witnessing a huge market opening up for swab and
viral transport media. Authorities at the helm
are working with hospital systems, states and
distributors to cope with orders to the tune of
several million tubes, vials and swabs. To Get

With lockdowns being ordered worldwide to
prevent propagation of the virus, manufacturers
are working overtime to keep production of swab
and viral transport media running. As heavier
restrictions seem imminent, key stakeholders are
working with suppliers and regional authorities
to preserve manufacturing conditions to boost the
growth of swab and viral transport medium market.

Swab and Viral Transport Medium Market Analysis
Nasopharyngeal (NP) Swabs Garner Traction in Swab
and Viral Transport Medium Market Space The lowly
nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs, have emerged as
frontrunners and have gained prominence as
COVID-19 pandemic reaches fever pitch. NP swabs
have come into the spotlight on the back of their
extra-long, flexible and thin shafts that make it
easy for them to reach the NP area inside the
nose. In tandem, is their manufacturing process
that is complex and reduces the eventuality of
severe contamination of nucleic acids that
interfere with PCR testing. Once used, the
potency of virus on the swab is kept intact by
transporting them in vials full of a solution
known as viral transport media which keeps the
virus viable and testable. Current test
procedures necessitate the need to use two swabs,
one for a flu test to rule out the need for
coronavirus test and the second one if the flu
test comes negative. NP swabs, through research
were also found to be more effective in detecting
coronavirus from day 8 of symptom onset. Regions
are opening doors for new testing sites which
will give an uptick to demand for NP swabs and
specialty swabs. Governments are also considering
expanding testing material options to pave way
for nasal swabs to keep up with demand for
increased testing.

b-11195 Key Stakeholders Double Down on
Innovation and Stringency to Facilitate
Large-Scale Testing DiaSorin, a prominent
manufacturer of swabs specifies NP swabs in 3 ml
of Copan Universal Transport Media (UTM) or BD
Viral Transport Media .Manufacturers also opine
that swabs with a synthetic tip made from Dacron,
nylon, rayon, aluminum and plastic be used.
Conventional variants such as calcium alignate
swabs that are traditionally used to obtain
samples for bacterial culture may contain
inhibitory substances that interfere with PCR
testing. Another company Longhorn Vaccines and
Diagnostics has come out with a new product
called as the PrimeStore Molecular Transport
Medium (MTM) that has received the FDA clearance
for respiratory samples. The mixture in this
formulation is very easy to scale and made from
unique reagents not utilized in COVID-19 testing
chain. It also inactivates the virus thus
obviating potential hazards in the transport
process.

Swab and Viral Transport Medium Market Analysis
The Panther Fusion SARS-CoV-2 test, a brainchild
of Hologic recommends the utilization of nylon or
rayon tipped swab and has been effectively
verified with BD VTM, Copan UTM and transport
media formulations from Remel Micro Test. Amid
rampant testing, the Centre for Disease Control
(CDC) guidelines say that an oropharyngeal swab
is an acceptable specimen if NP swabs run
short. Get Full Access of the Report _at_

and-viral-transport-medium-market The BD
Universal Viral Transport (UVT) System has
amalgamated swabs, vials and pre-packaged kits to
facilitate easy collection and transportation for
diagnosis of COVID-19. Demand for swab and viral
transport media is accelerating as the industry
is working with FDA for the validation and
approval of other swabs and transport systems for
testing of coronavirus.
