Flexicult® Vet is designed as an agar plate with elevated sides and divided into compartments with partitions and a lid. There is one large compartment for quantitative analysis
and 5 small compartments each containing a specific antibiotic: Ampicillin, Amoxicillin/clavulanate, Oxacillin, Enrofloxacin, and Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole.
Urinary testing for right antibioitc treatment from the beginning
Color indication for bacterial identification
Quantitative visualisation
For fast identification of your pet’s urinary tract infection
How to use
The urinary sample is poured briefly (3 – 5 sec.) over the agar. If the urine sample does not cover the total agar surface in all compartments the plate is tilted so that urine from the large counting compartment floods the small compartments containing antibiotics.
The remaining urine is poured off so that urine having been in contact with the small antibiotic compartments don’t come in contact with the counting compartment. Let any excess of urine drip from the plate – ex. by tapping it against the waste container.
Apply the lid and incubate Flexicult® Vet with the bottom facing upwards at 35°C in 18-24 hours.
The plate is read the next day.
After incubation over night (18-24 hours) the agar plate is examined for growth of bacteria.
