COLOREX KPC is a selective and differential chromogenic medium containing a carbapenem selective agent intended for use in obtaining a pure culture of gram-negative bacteria expressing reduced susceptibility to carbapenem-class antibiotics. The test can be performed with samples composed of mixed populations of bacteria, e.g., stool, biological fluids, surface streaks, etc.
SPECIFICATIONS
Product Principle -
Combine collection, culture, result and microscopic observation in one device.
Highly selective prepared media in a device designed for in-vitro specimen collection 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 -
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
Visual chromogenic differentiation
Accurate Detection -
Specially formulated medium promotes growth and chromogenic differentiation
Time to Result -
18-24 hours, incubated at 37°C for positive
Can tolerate extended periods at controlled room temp (≤ 25˚C), with no loss in performance.
