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 pathogen extraction rates at a much higher rate of recovery than any other method (sponges, swabs, contact plates). It excels at each level of the sampling process including the ability to:
  1. Sample larger areas
  2. Extract more from any given area and surface,
  3. Eliminate the elution step.

Improve your sample with:

  • Largest surface area per sample
  • Sub-surface recovery capability
  • Results equal 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

For Bio Threat

  • The M-Vac was designed for use on a virtually any surface that can be sampled with a swab, sponge, or contact plate.
  • Sampling with the M-Vac produces a liquid sample which is ready to go straight to a PCR system for rapid results.
  • The M-Vac is designed for collection of all types of warfare agents including but not limited to anthrax, ricin, botulinum toxin, and bubonic plague.
  • Exceptional  results on porous surfaces.
