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:

Test Strain	ATCC #	Appearance

Regulatory Information

CE Marked

FDA Registered in USA – For Research Use Only

COLOREX KPC is not intended for use in the identification of colonization with carbapenem-resistant bacteria to aid in the prevention and control of carbapenem-resistant bacteria in healthcare settings.

COLOREX KPC is not intended to diagnose infections with carbapenem-resistant bacteria, guide or monitor treatment for infections, or provide susceptibility results to carbapenem. Sub-culture is necessary for bacterial identification and susceptibility testing.

A self-contained system for detecting the presence of Tritrichomonas foetus. The system is simple to use and allows for collection, transport, and detection of the parasite.
