Microgen Staph-ID

Identification system for Staphylococci for Clinical, Veterinary & Environmental Isolates

Microgen Staph-ID has been developed for the identification of commonly encountered Staphylococcus spp, isolated from clinical, veterinary and environmental samples. These bacteria, although commensal, are recognised as potential human pathogens eg. S.aureus and S.epidermidis. Coagulase negative Staphylococcus spp are common colonises of prosthetic valves and in dwelling catheters.  

• 12 test system minimises handling and manipulation
• Suitable for use with clinical and veterinary samples
• Can be used to identify isolates from food and environmental sources
• Substrates selected specifically for Staphylococcus and related species
• Simple and easy-to-use
• Results in 24 hours
• Results Interpreted using new Microgen-ID system

The Microgen Staph-ID system comprises a single microwell test strip containing 12 standardised biochemical substrates which have been selected on the basis of extensive computer analysis of published databases for the identification of the genus Staphylococcus. The dehydrated substrates in each well are reconstituted with a suspension of the organism, a colour change occurs during incubation or after the addition of specific reagents. The permutation of metabolised substrates can be interpreted using the Microgen ID System Software (MDMID-60) to identify the test organism.
