3M™ Tecra™ Pathogen and Toxin Visual Immunoassay (VIA) Tests
Easy-to-use testingPathogen testing needs to be a simple, basic process because too much
is at stake for your business and consumers. 3M Tecra VIA Tests deliver
results that are easy to read using a visual color scale. With these
straightforward and accurate results, your productivity will increase,
and training the employees in your lab will be as fast and simple
as the test itself.
Easy-to-read results3M Tecra VIA Tests achieve a reliable result with easy-to-follow steps
that help reduce the risk of contamination. Whether you are new to
immunoassay testing, you want a dependable backup system, or you
are looking for a solid method that’s cost-effective and easy to use, 3M
Tecra VIA Tests are right for you.
Adaptable lab solutions3M Tecra VIA Tests offer flexible solutions to make testing more efficient. Our system allows you
to choose the kits, broth and supplements for the specific pathogen that you are testing. Whether

More results in less timeWith a higher throughput, our system can test more samples per run — up to 96 samples in a single plate.
If you need to increase capacity, it’s as simple as running multiple plates. Testing more samples with fewer
technicians means higher productivity. Because no equipment is needed to use 3M™ Tecra™ VIA tests,
you’ll avoid delayed results and incurred expenses that can happen in the event of equipment breakdown.

When factoring in labor and materials, many facilities find that their current cost per test is too high. Since
3M™ Tecra™ VIA Tests reduce both prep time and labor with competitive material costs, you can get started with
a low investment that will save you time and money. 3M Tecra VIA Tests don’t require expensive equipment, but
as your lab and your budget grow, you can choose to add semi-automated capability with no new training required.
Spend less and test more
you can count on.
