Industry Leading Ranges

MWE manufactures a wide range of products such as swabs and specimen collection media for the safe handling, collection and transportation of viruses, bacteria, and other microorganisms. We are the only UK manufacturer of swabs. Our products are manufactured to International Standards and meet the CLSI-M40-A2 validation (for the quality control of microbiology specimen transport devices).

More than just Clinical

Swabs and specimen collection are used in other areas outside of the clinical setting. MWE supplies a range of swabs and specimen collection media into Food, Pharmaceutical, Forensics, Environmental, and Research. Our products are used globally in over 120 countries. Our capacity has grown 10-fold and we manufacture millions of swabs and media on a weekly basis.

Our Vision

To ensure every sample is collected and transported in its optimum condition, enabling the most accurate and reliable results, because results matter. By maintaining the highest standards, we empower healthcare providers and researchers to make informed decisions that drive the right actions, ultimately improving outcomes and advancing the quality of care and scientific discovery.
