InTray® SAB+PVG

Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA) is recommended in the United State Pharmocopoeia (USP) for use in performing total combined mold and yeast counts (Microbial Limits Tests). InTray SAB+PVG are general-purpose microbiology devices that allow for simultaneous growth and observation of pathogenic and non-pathogenic fungi, including yeasts and dermatophytes.

InTray SAB+PVG is slightly inhibitory against bacteria and is designed for sampling a large spectrum of fungal growth. Bacterial inhibition is further enhanced with the introduction of the antibiotics Polymyxin B, Vancomycin and Gentamicin – which is used for samples with suspected high levels of bacterial contamination.

For isolation of fungi from potentially contaminated specimens, best practice suggests InTray SAB+PVG should be run in parallel with the non-selective InTray SAB-FungID.

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/ 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 #	Recover
*A. brasiliensis*	16404	Good
C. albicans	10231	Good
S. cerevisiae	9763	Good
T. mentagrophytes	9533	Good

Time to Result

1 -14 days, incubated at 25ºC for positive

Result can be obtained within as little as 18-48 hours (7-14 days for Trichophyton).

Storage

Extended 12 month shelf life (2-8°C) from the date of manufacture
Can tolerate extended periods at controlled room temp (≤ 25˚C), with no loss in performance.
