STAPHYtest 16 is designed for routine identification of staphylococci, particularly for the coagulase-negative strains, isolated from clinical material and food within 16-24 hours. The identification can be supplemented with the tests available in the form of detection strips MIKROLATEST® VPtest, OXItest, PYRAtest and Novobiocin disc.
- A combination of 16 biochemical tests rapid identification of staphylococci bacteria
- Each kit of STAPHYtest 16 contains 40 determinations in total.
- Results can be interpreted 16-24 hours after inoculation.
- Reporting can be done through an AUTOMATED SYSTEM, through specialized software or manually by Code boок
Necessary reagents and aids:
- 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.
- Reagent for PHOSPHATASE test - for phosphatase test
- NITRATE test - reagent - reagent for NITRATE test
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
- 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.
