Culturing for Urinary Tract Infection has never been easier nor faster!
Quantitative Bacterial Culture (QBC), also known as Colony Count, is considered the gold standard for diagnosis of urinary tract infections. In addition to differentiating harmless bacterial contaminants from bacterial pathogens, a colony count can provide an important clue as to the severity of infection. However, for meaningful results QBC must be performed at the time of collection and included in the CultiPlate®-U system are disposable calibrated loops for obtaining precise results.
The compact 2 inch X 3 inch CultiPlate®-U fits easily into the smallest of incubators and can be submitted to most reference labs for confirmation and susceptibility testing. Plates are individually wrapped for extended shelf life of up to 8 months.
