BD BBL CHROMagar

Microbiology laboratories face multiple challenges when using diagnostic tools to effectively identify and differentiate bacteria in blood culture, stool, urine and HAI samples. If you work with standalone diagnostic solutions with no end-to end approach, you’re likely facing inefficient workflows that can compromise quality, increase your risk of errors, and reduce profitability. These errors and delays in identifying the cause of infections increases the risk of your clinicians making inappropriate antimicrobial choices. In this brochure, BD Life Sciences presents BD BBL™ CHROMagar™ family, and shows how it can optimize your workflow efficiency. The BD BBL CHROMagar family uses a chromogen mix that releases colored compounds after degradation by specific microbial enzymes. This application note is for Europe, Middle East, and Africa only, for the US version, click here

BD BBL™ CHROMagar™ Orientation Plate

BD Life Sciences

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 differentiation of certain species or the detection of

MicrobiologyMicrobiology is the study of microorganisms including protists, prokaryotes, fungi, and, often, viruses. Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
