The BD BACTEC™ FX blood culture system builds on the proven history of previous BD BACTEC™ instrumentation, with advanced fluorescence detection technology, exceptional media performance and instrument reliability—adding vial-activated workflow, advanced ergonomics, blood culture observation and customer-focused data management. The easy-to-use workflow comes in a compact, modular design, which can be adapted to multiple space…
Since 1935, BD BBL prepared media products have been trusted by microbiology laboratory professionals due to a high level of quality and performance. BD BBL™ prepared plated media enable the isolation of microorganisms from samples or specimens. Ready for immediate use, routinely available in several types of Petri-style dishes, containing a variety of media.
BD BBL™ CHROMagar™ Staph aureus is a selective medium for the isolation, enumeration, and identification of Staphylococcus aureus from clinical and food sources. The growth of mauve-colored colonies at 24 hours is considered positive for S. aureus for clinical specimens requiring no further confirmatory testing. CHROMagar Staph aureus has been validated by the AOAC™ Research Institute under the Performance Testing Methods for…
BD BBL™ CHROMagar™ MRSA II is designed for the qualitative, direct detection of nasal colonization by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
BD has combined two products to formulate the BD BBL™ CHROMagar™ MRSAII/CHROMagar™ SA Bi-plate. This product is used for the qualitative direct detection of nasal colonization by methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and as a selective medium for the isolation, enumeration, and identification of S. aureus.
BD BBL™ CHROMagar™ Orientation medium is a non-selective, differential medium for presumptively identifying bacterial isolates from primary plating media. Specially selected peptones supply the nutrients in BD BBL™ CHROMagar Orientation medium. The chromogen mix consists of artificial substrates (chromogens) that release differently colored compounds upon degradation by specific microbial enzymes, thus assuring the direct dif…
BD has combined two products to formulate the BD BBL™ CHROMagar™ Orientation / TSA II I Plate™ for urine cultures. As today’s laboratories are challenged to do more with less, this format standardizes urine culture processing to a single catalog number. The I Plate allows for the visual identification of common urinary pathogens helping to improve turnaround time for positives.
BD BBL™ CHROMagar™ Candida medium is a selective and differential medium for presumptively identifying members of the genus Candida from a primary isolation plate. Due to the differences in morphology and colors of the yeast colonies, this medium is particularly useful in the detection of mixed yeast cultures in specimens. Colonies of C. albicans appear light to medium green, C. tropicalis colonies appear light blue to metall…
