∑-VCM™ is a preservation and a universal transport media device, used for optimum recovery of viruses, chlamydia, mycoplasma, ureaplasma and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Antibiotics in the medium inhibit the growth of contaminating bacteria and fungi. It is compatible with culture and molecular diagnostic techniques. ∑-VCM™ can have a positive clinical impact on the development of reliable laboratory results. This single universal medium can reduce the number of inappropriately taken samples, therefore avoiding the need to order repeat specimens.There is also no need for ∑-VCM™ to be refrigerated or frozen for transport. ∑-VCM™ can be stored and transported at ambient temperature. ∑-VCM™ is compliant with the CLSI standard M40-A2. This standard is for the Quality Control of Microbiology Specimen Transport Devices.

∑-VIROCULT® is a clean, virus transport media used for optimum recovery and transportation of viruses. It is the most used product during the pandemic. It has been used globally by healthcare facilities and governments. With a 12-month shelf-life, it is ideal for molecular diagnostics and culture techniques. It has also been used within research and genomics. ∑-VIROCULT® is compliant with the CLSI standard M40-A2. This standard is for the Quality Control of Microbiology Specimen Transport Devices.

∑-TSB™ is one of the latest innovations from MWE and is a swab based device for the direct collection and rapid processing of Staphylococcus aureus, incl. MRSA screening specimens. The product includes a 2ml vial of TSB enrichment broth and a swab which can be snapped into the vial. After collecting the specimen, the vial can be incubated for a few hours before inoculation onto a chromogenic agar medium for the direct detection and identification of MRSA.

∑–MM™ is the only inactivation media that inactivates deadly pathogens in 60 secs. Has been proven to be effective against SARS-CoV-2. This media can be used for microorganisms, bacteria & viruses, including Coronavirus. The liquid media is great for culture and molecular techniques. It has been proven to be keep the RNA and DNA stable for at least 21 days at room temperature and refrigerated. ∑–MM™ is compliant with the CLSI standard M40-A2. This standard is for the Quality Control of Microbiology Specimen Transport Devices. Also available with a swab in a peel pouch.
