Colorex™ Salmonella allows for simultaneous growth, detection and chromogenic differentiation of Salmonella species, including S. typhi and S. paratyphi, traditionally taken from clinical stool specimens. Additionally, Colorex Salmonella inhibits the growth of yeasts,
SPECIFICATIONS
Product Principle -
Combine collection, culture, result and microscopic observation in one IVD device.
Highly selective prepared media in a device designed for in-vitro specimen transport and incubation.
Rapid presumptive-positive diagnosis without re-plating. Intray can be placed directly on microscope stage
Fully enclosed cassette with Tyvek® air filtration prevents contamination and exposure, post-collection.
Simple Convenience -
The InTray is designed for specimen collection/ inoculation at point-of-care
Saves time, material cost and waste, reducing exposure to collected sample
Place directly on the microscope tray for observation through the cassette’s clear anti-fog window
Selectively produces distinctive colony growth with typical identifiable morphology
Storage -
Extended 6 month shelf life (2-8°C) from the date of manufacture
Can tolerate extended periods at controlled room temp (≤ 25˚C), with no loss in performance.
Specimen -
Skin
Sputum
Urine
Genito-urethral swabs
For research use only.
For in vitro diagnostic use. Some Pseudomonas may have similar mauve colony aspect and can be eliminated by an oxidase test. Many S. typhi can be detected after 24-48h incubation as mauve variable size colonies. Final identification must be done by biochemistry and serology.
