Biomed InTray COLOREX ECC culture media for E. coli diagnostics

InTray® COLOREX ECC - Prepared Plated Culture Media

COLOREX™ ECC enables simultaneous growth, observation and chromogenic differentiation of E. coli and other coliforms in food or water samples. Water contamination due to fecal coliforms consists mainly of E. coli and thermotolerant Klebsiella. The fully enclosed InTray system enhances safety by preventing contamination and reduces exposure to collected samples.

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
