∑-MM™

The Terminator

When culture is never going to be required, ∑-MM™ rapidly kills pathogens making the specimen safe, but preserving DNA and RNA for full analysis. Specimens become safe and stable for transport at ambient temperatures. It is effective for viruses, including human influenza, mycobacteria and bacteria. Any nucleases in the specimen are immediately inactivated, ensuring any DNA or RNA is preserved intact for testing. ∑-MM™ can be used with swabs and other specimens.
