Uricult culture tests are intended for diagnosing urinary tract infections (UTI) by demonstration of microbes (total bacterial count, gram-negative bacteria, enterococci, Escherichia coli) in urine samples. The test can be performed at the point of care, or the slides can be used as convenient transport media for cultured samples. Generally Uricult tests are available in three different, easy-to-use versions. The Uricult dipslide is based on two agar media. The CLED agar is intended for determining the total bacterial count in urine samples and the selective MacConkey agar supports the growth of gram-negative bacteria. The Uricult Plus dipslide is based on three agar media. In addition to the CLED and MacConkey agar media, Uricult Plus has a selective Enterococcus medium which is intended specifically for the detection of enterococci. The Uricult Trio dipslide is based on three agar media. In addition to the CLED and MacConkey agar media, Uricult Trio has a selective E.coli medium which is intended specifically for the detection of gram-negative, β-glucuronidase-producing organisms, of which E. coli is the most common in urinary tract infections. Uricult tests provide you with Easy to perform on-site testing: Dip - Incubate - Interpret Convenient way to transport urine samples: Inoculated dipslide can be inserted back into the tube and sent to the laboratory Easy and suitable UTI testing for everyone - also for personnel not trained for laboratory work Fast results in 16-24 hours for more information on clinical status Stability of six to nine months at room temperature
