InTray® XLT4 - Prepared Plated Culture Media

XLT4 allows for simultaneous growth and observation of non-typhi Salmonella from samples contaminated with fecal matter. The InTray XLT4 improves efficiency by inhibiting other contaminated fecal bacteria such as Proteus, Providencia and Pseuodomonas – which can lead to overgrowth. XLT4 agar demonstrates improved growth of non-typhi Salmonella species from specimens collected using environmental drag swabs. It has shown sensitivity comparable to Hektoen enteric agar with nearly 100% specificity when used to isolate non-typhi Salmonella from stool 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

Accurate Detection

100% specificity when used to isolate non-typhi Salmonella

Test Strain	ATCC#	Result	Color
