Prepared Media HardyCHROM™ BluEcoli™ Blood Agar / Chromogenic E. Coli Urine Bi-Plate Format

Features

• BluEcoli™ Urine Biplate is a urine culture media, consisting of Blood Agar on one side and BluEcoli™ Agar on the other side, which is used for the isolation of urinary pathogens and for the identification of E. coli
• A revolutionary agar bi-plate for screening urine specimens for E. coli, which causes about 85% of all urinary tract infections (UTI)
• Blood Agar (side 1) is recommended as a primary plating medium when culturing urine specimens
• BluEcoli™ (side 2) is a urine culture medium used for the culture and isolation of urinary pathogens and for the identification of E. coli which turns blue within 24 hours by using chromogenic substrates
• Inoculate both sides of the biplate with the urine specimen. If the infecting organism is E. coli, the colonies on the chromogenic side of the biplate will turn blue
• With the BluEcoli™ Urine Biplate, you can select a colony from the blood agar side of the biplate for susceptibility testing
• Helpful in spotting mixed infections
