BD Affirm VPIII Ambient Temperature Transport System - 446255

BD Affirm VPIII Ambient Transport System is a vaginal swab transport kit designed to move specimens from the exam room to the lab without refrigeration. Used in OB/GYN clinics, urgent care, and women’s health programs, this ambient temperature transport system preserves sample integrity for the BD Affirm VPIII Microbial Identification Test, which detects Candida, Gardnerella, and Trichomonas. A closed, leak-resistant collection tube and clear patient labeling support reliable chain-of-custody during courier pickup and processing.

Each tray provides a sterile swab, translucent collection tube with natural cap, transfer dropper, and patient label. Specimens remain viable for up to 72 hours at 15–30 °C, which simplifies room-temperature storage and transport in routine workflows, and for up to 4 hours at 2–8 °C when short-term refrigeration is preferred. The kit streamlines point-of-care specimen collection, reduces cold-chain steps, and helps labs receive stable samples ready for BD Affirm testing.
