Bio Threat

Obtaining a good sample is a key part in dealing with a contaminated warfare environment. Because a detection system relies entirely upon the amount of pathogens collected in a sample, obtaining a quality sample is crucial.

The M-Vac provides much higher pathogen extraction rates than any other method (i.e. sponges, swabs, contact plates). It excels at each aspect of the sampling process:

• Largest surface area per sample (up to 10 square feet, 9300 square cm)
• Deep surface extraction of pathogens
• Results comparable to excision or bulk sampling
• Highest recovery of any sampling method
• Greater sampling and detection confidence
• Reduced probability of a false negative
• Decreased lab time and fewer supplies
