InTray® VS COLOREX™ Screen

For Rapid Isolation and Differentiation of Urinary Tract Pathogens

The major target of this medium is the detection of urinary tract pathogens, but COLOREX Screen has a broader application as a general nutrient agar for the isolation of various microorganisms.

COLOREX Screen can also be used to differentiate various microorganisms in other infected areas; e.g., scars, wounds, etc. In addition, COLOREX Screen is useful when supplemented with various antibiotics in detecting increasingly important nosocomial and multidrug resistant microorganisms.

For InTrays with antibiotic supplementals, please see COLOREX ESBLCOLOREX KPC, and COLOREX Yeast

 

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.
  • 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 and 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
