Key Features

• 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.
• Helpful in spotting mixed infections.
