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:

Features

01.    SHELF-LIFE AND DURABILITY

  • Designed for extended 6 month shelf life
  • Durable and stackable for incubation
  • No re-plate or wet mount
  • Once inoculated, no other culture preparation is required… saving time and cost.
  • Designed for specimen collection/inoculation at point-of-care, a fully enclosed system for transport, incubation, result and microscopic observation.
  • The sealed prepared media device is selectively formulated for accurate detection and identification of pathogens and non-pathogens
  • Visual chromogenic differentiation and/or selective production of distinctive colony growth with typical identifiable morphology

02.    KEY FEATURES

  • Fully enclosed cassette with air filtration system
  • Nutritive culture colony growth medium, formulated for selectivity and specificity
  • Anaerobic or aerobic system available (on select products)

03.    YOU’LL IMMEDIATELY EXPERIENCE A REDUCTION IN:

  • Time-to-result
  • Cost of laboratory materials
  • Medical waste
  • Risk of exposure or contamination

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.
