Quick Links: Specifications Detection Incubation Storage

COLOREX ESBL Agar is a selective and differential chromogenic medium, containing an extended-spectrum beta-lactam selective agent, intended for use as a plating technique to obtain a pure culture of Enterobacteriaceae that produce extendedspectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL). The test can be performed with samples composed of mixed populations of bacteria, e.g., stool, biological fluids, surface streaks, etc.

Sub-culture is necessary for bacterial identification and susceptibility testing

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 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/ 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

Specially formulated medium promotes growth and chromogenic differentiation
