MWE

For over half a century, MWE has launched innovative products such as Transwab®, Virocult®, Sigma-Swab® (∑-Swab®) and the latest addition to the Sigma range called ∑-VCM® to help microbiologists and other diagnostic professionals obtain the high quality specimens essential for accurate investigations. In 1975, MWE launched Transwab®. 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. We have now launched our new Sigma-Swab® range of products. These use our extensive experience of media development, combined with a new kind of collection device. This incorporates advanced materials for optimum specimen collection, transport and processing - whether automated or conventional.Other innovations for the food and pharmaceutical industries include: a. NRS Transwab® and the new NRS II™ rinse swabsb. Polywipe™ sponge swabs for the measurement of residual contamination on disinfected surfacesc. A range of Isolation Transwabs® for the easy detection of common pathogens (such as listeria and coliforms) in food production environments.
