BD BBL™ Crystal™ ID Systems

Description

• Intended for identification of clinically significant aerobic and anaeorobic gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial pathogens isolated from human specimens
• During incubation, the stackable 10-device trays save space and prevent incubator mess
• Following incubation, distinct chromogenic and fluorogenic reactions generate a profile number, which is keyed directly into the BBL Crystal MIND Software installed on a laboratory computer
• Onscreen display identifies the organism, reports on epidemiology, and conveys other pertinent information Easy-to-use systems require no pipetting or reagent addition Culture colonies are suspended in Crystal Broth; then inoculum suspension is poured directly into the Crystal device Wells fill automatically by rocking base Lid is snapped onto the device for safety and handling ease Enteric/Non-Fermenter (E/NF) Kit performs overnight identification of clinically significant aerobic gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae isolates, as well as frequently isolated glucose nonfermenting gram-negative bacilli from human origin Anaerobe ID (ANR) Kit is a four-hour test that identifies clinically significant anaerobes
• Separate databases for Schaedler Blood Agar, CDC Anaerobe Blood Agars are included for improved specificity and increased flexibility Neisseria / Haemophilus (N/H) ID Kit identifies Neisseria , Haemophilus , Moraxella , Gardnerella vaginalis and other fastidious bacteria in a four-hour test Gram-Positive (GP) Kit identifies 121 gram-positive bacteria isolated from clinical specimens including both cocci and bacilli in an overnight test Rapid Gram-Positive (RGP) Kit identifies gram-positive bacteria isolated from clinical specimens including both cocci and bacilli in a four-hour test
