SIGMA-VCM™ is a preservation and a universal transport media device, used for optimum recovery of viruses, chlamydia, mycoplasma, ureaplasma and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It is compatible with culture and molecular diagnostic techniques.
Antibiotics in the medium inhibit the growth of contaminating bacteria and fungi. The medium can reduce the number of inappropriately taken samples, therefore avoiding the need to order repeat specimens. There is also no need for Sigma-VCM™ to be refrigerated or frozen for transport allowing lower cost ambient transportation.
Sigma-VCM™ is compliant with the CLSI standard M40. This standard is for the Quality Control of Microbiology Specimen Transport Devices.
