BD BBL™ Crystal™ ID Systems

Description

Intended for identification of clinically significant aerobic and anaeorobic gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial pathogens isolated from human specimens. During incubation, the stackable 10-device trays save space and prevent incubator mess. Following incubation, distinct chromogenic and fluorogenic reactions generate a profile number, which is keyed directly into the BBL Crystal MIND Software installed on a laboratory computer.

• Onscreen display identifies the organism, reports on epidemiology, and conveys other pertinent information
• Easy-to-use systems require no pipetting or reagent addition
• Culture colonies are suspended in Crystal Broth; then inoculum suspension is poured directly into the Crystal device
• Wells fill automatically by rocking base
• Lid is snapped onto the device for safety and handling ease

• Enteric/Non-Fermenter (E/NF) Kit performs overnight identification of clinically significant aerobic gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae isolates, as well as frequently isolated glucose nonfermenting gram-negative bacilli from human origin
• Anaerobe ID (ANR) Kit is a four-hour test that identifies clinically significant anaerobes. Separate databases for Schaedler Blood Agar, CDC Anaerobe Blood Agars are included for improved specificity and increased flexibility
• Neisseria/Haemophilus (N/H) ID Kit identifies Neisseria, Haemophilus, Moraxella, Gardnerella vaginalis and other fastidious bacteria in a four-hour test
• Gram-Positive (GP) Kit identifies 121 gram-positive bacteria isolated from clinical specimens including both cocci and bacilli in an overnight test
• Rapid Gram-Positive (RGP) Kit identifies gram-positive bacteria isolated from clinical specimens including both cocci and bacilli in a four-hour test
