Biomed InTray Colorex Yeast culture media for diagnostics

InTray® COLOREX™ Yeast - Prepared Plated Culture Media

Colorex Yeast is a specialized prepared plated culture media device that allows for simultaneous growth, detection and chromogenic differentiation of Candida species, as well as Malassezia pachydermatis. Samples are traditionally taken from skin, sputum, urine, or vaginal swabs.

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

The 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

Specificity for C. albicans, C. tropicalis and C. krusei exceed 99%

Test Strain	ATCC #	Colony Appearance
