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. Recommended applications Respiratory, wound and skin. Features Liquid VCM™ recovers viruses, Chlamydia, mycoplasma & ureaplasma, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae Single Σ swab Compatible with molecular & cell culture techniques and is a universal transport media device.
