Simplify your classical dermatophyte culture and microscopy methods with InTray’s FungID device sytem. The prepared plated culture media in InTray FungID SAB w/CC enables simultaneous detection and observation of multiple dermatophyte fungi – a specific group of fungi that cause common skin, nail and hair infections in both humans and animals. Dermatophytes are zoonotic, meaning they can be transmitted across species and generally made up of three genera: Microsporum, Epidermophyton and Tyichophyton.
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.
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 -
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 stage for observation through the cassette’s clear anti-fog window
Selectively produces distinctive colony growth with typical identifiable morphology
If a fungal infection is strongly suspected and the culture test result is negative, it may be appropriate to retest giving more care to specimen collection. Optimally, simultaneously inoculate samples on both InTray DM-FungID & InTray SAB without antimicrobials (e.g., for some pathogenic fungi inhibited by antimicrobials)
