- Utilizes the TB cording phenomenon for identification, which is easily viewed with an inverted microscope.
- Detects susceptible, mono-resistant, and multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB usually within a 5 to 10 day incubation period.
- Can be used to monitor patients on therapy. Detects only living organisms.
- Cost effective and labor saving
- Ready-to-use antibiotics available in an easy-to-dissolve tablet. No measuring, weighing, or mixing needed.
- All vials and reagents are color coded to simplify and error-proof the procedure.
- Unique protective flexible silicone sealing lid for increased safety. Tray remains permanently sealed throughout the entire incubation and examination procedure. Safety lid can be easily pierced with a needle/syringe if sub-culturing or rapid specification is necessary.
