STAPHYtest 24 - The identification kit without reagents STAPHYtest 24, is designed for the definitive identification of staphylococci isolated from clinical material and for their differentiation from other Gram-positive catalase-positive cocci. The kit contains 24 biochemical tests, which are placed in 3 rows (triple-strips) of a divided microplate. The identification can be supplemented with the tests available in the form of detection strips MIKROLATEST®: VPtest for the detection of acetoin formation, PYRAtest for the detection of pyrrolidonylarylamidase activity and OXItest for the detection of cytochromoxidase.
- A combination of 24 biochemical tests rapid identification of staphylococci bacteria
- Each kit of STAPHYtest 24 contains 40 determinations in total.
- Results can be interpreted 24 hours after inoculation.
- Reporting can be done through an AUTOMATED SYSTEM, through specialized software or manually by Code boок
- Paraffin oil, sterilized - Strong alkaline reactions in some tests (decarboxylases, indole, urease, H2 S, etc.) may influence the reactions in next wells. This can be avoided by adding the paraffin oil.
The identification has to be supplemented with a test in form of the detection strip and discs MIKROLATEST®:
- OXItest - for detection of cytochromoxidase
- Reagent for OXIDASE test - for oxidase test
- VPtest - for the detection of acetoin formation
- Reagent for ACETOIN test - reagent for VP test
- PYRAtest- for the detection of pyrrolidonylarylamidase activity
- Reagent for PYRA test - reagent for PYRA test
- BACITRACIN S - simple routine presumptive determination of β-hemolytic Group A streptococci
- NOVOBOCIN- for differentiation of coagulase negative staphylococci by means of growth test
MIKROLATEST® ID kits offer comfortable and reliable way to identify the most important bacteria and yeasts. Tests are placed on divided microplates. Reporting can be done through an automated system, through specialized software or manually by Code boок. For increased identification precision, additional tests in form of reagent strips and discs are also available.
Reagents, suspension media, paraffin oil and additional tests are supplied separately.
Kits, where reagents are not necessary, can be found for most groups of microorganisms. Non-reagent kits bring even more working comfort and save time.
