A viral transport medium (VTM) is an essential nutrient that is used to transport and sustain the viability of samples (viruses) to an laboratory for analysis and identification of the specimen.
Transport media are basically buffer solutions that contain carbohydrate, peptones, along with other nutritional elements (excluding growing factors) that are designed to protect the health of bacteria during transport, without allowing for their multiplicity. The main goal of utilization of the medium is to keep the sample as close to its original condition as is possible.
