A revolutionary agar bi-plate for screening urine specimens for E. coli, which causes about 85% of all urinary tract infections (UTI)
Blood Agar (side 1) is recommended as a primary plating medium when culturing urine specimens
BluEcoli (side 2) is a urine culture medium used for the culture and isolation of urinary pathogens and for the identification of E. coli which turns blue within 24 hours by using chromogenic substrates
Inoculate both sides of the biplate with the urine specimen
If the infecting organism is E. coli, the colonies on the chromogenic side of the biplate will turn blue
The blue color of E. coli is confirmatory! No further confirmation or indole testing is required
Save time and money by not using an expensive identification system
All other gram negative bacteria will appear as they would on a MacConkey plate (pink for lactose fermentors and clear for non-fermentors)
With the BluEcoli Urine Biplate, you can select a colony from the blood agar side of the biplate for susceptibility testing
