TRANSFER PIPETTESThese unbreakable, one-piece pipettes eliminate 
						contaminated rubber bulbs, broken glass and exposure to 
						infectious materials. They are made of ultra-clear, low 
						density polyethylene (LDPE) and are ideal for 
						microbiology, blood banking, hematology, immunology, and 
						urinalysis. Sterile pipettes are excellent for tissue 
						culture application. Their low-affinity surface reduces  sample, cell or protein loss. Whether you make your 
						selection based on length, build draw, pipette capacity 
						or number of drops per ml, one of these  designs is 
						likely to be suitable for your application. Some have 
						ultra-fine extended tips (P4113)  that allow for extremely  precise dispensing and access into the 
						narrowest vessels. They can also be heat sealed for 
						airtight sample storage.   Their uniform drop size can be 
						used for reproducible spotting of gels & TLC plates, and 
						for dispensing into tests,   ID strips, PCR tubes or 
						96 well plates. 5ml capacity, bulb 3.5ml, length 150mm 
						  
						 
						  
 
						  
						  
						
						   
				
					|   With the increasing use of 
					automated processing platforms for microbiological 
					specimens, it is essential to know that the transport swabs 
					in use locally are fully compatible with the technology. MWE 
					designs its liquid medium swab transport devices to be 
					compatible with all systems currently in use, and a new 
					study in a leading French laboratory has demonstrated that 
					Sigma Transwabs® are fully compatible with the Copan WASP 
					(Walk Away Specimen Processor). In the clinical trial patient 
					specimens were collected using Sigma Transwabs®, and 
					processed manually or on the WASP. All specimens gave 
					identical results, showing complete compatibility. A range 
					of organisms were accurately identified too. The study allowed validation for 
					the routine use of Sigma-Transwab® swabs, in order for them 
					to be used for the collection of clinical specimens and 
					their integration into the workflow of WASP® samples, 
					ensuring reproducible quality isolates, traceability of the 
					inoculation procedure, and reliability in an ISO 15189 
					compliant process. The study was presented recently at 
					RICAI 2014 in Paris. Evaluation of Σ-Transwab® and Σ-Transwab® 
					- PF(flocked) (ELITECH France and Medical Wire) by manual 
					method and by automated inoculation on the Walk-Away 
					Specimen Processor (WASP® Copan) for the recovery of 
					microorganisms from clinical specimens. Tubes and caps used 
					for Sigma Transwab® are identical to those used with all of 
					the MWE liquid range including Fecal Transwab®, Sigma TSB™, 
					Selenite Broth etc. To view this study please
					
					click here. Sigma Transwabs® are used globally 
					in many laboratories & are compatible with all current 
					automated specimen processing platforms including bioMérieux 
					Previ Isola, BD InoqulA, and BD Innova.    |   |   |

											Flu 
											epidemics are not just limited to 
											the winter months. With new strains 
											of flu appearing regularly it is 
											imperative to keep a stock of Viral 
											transport medium (Sigma Virocult/Sigma 
											VCM) all year round.

			using Virocult® 
				
					
						
						Viral transport medium: Virocult® and 
						∑-Virocult® offer combined collection and transport 
						systems for viruses, incorporating a specially 
						formulated liquid transport medium, which is
						M40-A Compliant. Virocult® has long been recognized as 
						one of the leading transport devices for viruses, 
						demonstrating survival of many types of virus at ambient 
						temperatures, including Herpes Simplex Virus, Varicella-Zoster 
						Virus, Influenza Type A (includes Novel H1N1v, H5N1, and 
						H3N2), Influenza Type B, Respiratory syncytial virus, 
						mumps virus, adenovirus, rhinovirus, and enteroviruses. ∑-Virocult® combines  Sigma-Swab® 
						with Virocult® medium which can be used with traditional 
						cell culture techniques, and is compatible with new 
						molecular techniques including RT-PCR.  ∑-Virocult® 
						offers exceptional convenience with a choice of fill 
						volume, vial size, swab type and comes with a 12 month 
						shelf life.      Viral transport medium offered using 
			Virocult® products:  For
