InTray® COLOREX™ Vibrio - Prepared Plated Culture Media

With Colorex™ Vibrio, the most common pathogenic Vibrio species are easily distinguishable by colony color. Naturally present on marine plants and animals, Vibrio genus counts over 20 species. Colorex™ Vibrio rapidly differentiates those of interest as public health hazards; V. cholerae often cause cholera through food and water contaminations. V. parahaemolyticus and V. vulnificus are largely involved in foodborne diseases from seafood. V. alginolyticus is less common but is a major issue for seafood and oyster producers.

Colorex™ Vibrio is for the isolation and detection of V. parahaemolyticus, V. vulnificus, and V. cholerae. Suitable for direct streaking of food, water, surface or other environmental samples either with or without an enrichment step.

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
Selectively produces distinctive colony growth with typical identifiable morphology

Accurate Detection

Test Strain	ATCC #	Appearance
*V .parahaemolyticus*	33845	Mauve
*V. vulnificus*	27562	Green Blue to Turquoise
V. alginolyticus	33839	Colorless
E. coli	25922	Inhibited
