Product Description

Hardy Diagnostics’ Bacti Lab Skin Culture Systems are diagnostic culture test kits for the detection of dermatophytic fungi. The culture media is ready for use and provides simplified culture procedures for the isolation, detection and speciation of dermatophytes (Microsporum, Epidermophyton, Trichophyton) commonly seen from hair, skin, and nail specimens in a human or veterinary clinical setting. A 15 x 100mm biplate with one section for DTM (Dermatophyte Test Media) and the other section for RSM (Rapid Sporulation Media). The RSM side will induce the organisms to produce spores (macroconidia) which can be viewed microscopically for identification. DTM does not induce the rapid formation of spores. Do not ingest, inhale, or allow to come into contact with skin. This product is for in vitro diagnostic use only. It is to be used only by adequately trained and qualified laboratory personnel. The Hardy Diagnostics manufacturing facility and quality management system comply with cGMP’s and have achieved ISO 13485 certification as a medical device manufacturer.

Interpretation of results

The diagram below will be helpful for interpreting the appearance of observed colonial growth, the visible characteristics of a colony. Colonies with different appearances are usually different bacterial strains, species, or genera.

Polystyrene Petri plates feature raised rings for stacking ability and prevents sliding
Packaged in sleeves of 10 plates in a “breathable” bag that prevents build up of condensation and excess moisture
DTM will turn red within a few days when a dermatophytic fungus is present, which is a cause of ringworm
RSM is also useful for observing the true pigment formation of the colony, the media will turn blue to blue green in the presence of dermatophytes, and will induce the rapid formation of spores to facilitate identification using the microscope
Minimum of 28 days shelf life
