Medical Wire

Medical Wire Leaders in Specimen Collection & Transport This gradually evolved into the supply of pre-packed, validated devices. In 1975, Medical Wire launched Transwab®.

For over half a century, Medical Wire has been helping microbiologists and other diagnostic professionals to obtain the high quality specimens essential for accurate investigations. Initially, we provided the materials that enabled customers to produce their own collection devices, such as swabs, inoculating loops and dip slides. Typical uses include nurses taking a specimen; quality managers sampling food contact surfaces in a meat processing plant; and police collecting forensic evidence at a crime scene. This was the first complete, ready-to-use transport swab kit, complete with swab and a tube of semi-solid transport medium, suitable for all micro-organisms. This was followed by Virocult®, with a medium dedicated to virus isolation.

When it comes to choosing the right medium for collecting specimens related to STDs, reliability is crucial to avoid retesting and ensure a higher standard of patient care.
MWE's SIGMA VCM™ is specifically crafted by our scientists for the collection of viruses, chlamydia, mycoplasma, and ureaplasmas. This medium can even hold important bacteria such as Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Why Choose Σ-VCM™?
💥 Optimal Survival and Recovery: The base medium supports the survival and recovery of target organisms.
🍸 Contamination Prevention: A new cocktail of antibiotics prevents the growth of contaminating bacteria and fungi.
👓 Enhanced Specimen Dispersion: Glass beads are added to our standard Σ-VCM™ format to improve specimen dispersion and release microorganisms from host cells for a rapid response to testing.
🌡️ Convenient Transport: Σ-VCM™ can be transported at ambient temperatures, keeping the specimen ready to test without the need for chilling or freezing, and preventing overgrowth.
Choose Σ-VCM™ for reliable, efficient, and effective specimen collection, ensuring the highest standard of testing and patient care. Learn more about Σ-VCM™ and other products in our SIGMA Range: https://mwe-crm.odoo.com/r/Q6A
