Description
InTray® COLOREX™ Screen makes preliminary detection of UTI pathogenic species easy by producing distinctive color and morphology differences in as little as 24 hours.
For Rapid Isolation and Differentiation of Urinary Tract Pathogens
The major target of this medium is the detection of urinary tract pathogens, but COLOREX Screen has a broader application as a general nutrient agar for the isolation of various microorganisms.
This diagnostic tool can also be used to differentiate various microorganisms in other infected areas; e.g., scars, wounds, etc. In addition, it's useful when supplemented with various antibiotics in detecting increasingly important nosocomial and multidrug resistant microorganisms.
InTray COLOREX screen uses CHROMagar Orientation Chromogenic Media.
