Q

Principle

Identify and differentiate bacteria of based on biochemical tests

It provides a standardized, miniaturized version of existing identification techniques, which were complicated to perform and difficult to read.

The plastic strip holds mini-test chambers containing dehydrated media having chemically defined compositions for each test.

They usually detect enzymatic activity, mostly related to fermentation of carbohydrates pr catabolism of proteins or amino acids by the inoculated organisms

Q

Bacterial suspensions used to rehydrate each of the wells and the strips are incubated.

During incubation metabolism produces color changes that are either spontaneous or revealed by the addition of reagents.

All positive and negative test results are compiled to obtain a profile number, which is then compared with profile numbers in mercial codebook or logbook (or online) for the determination and identification of the bacterial species.

Q

When microorganisms are present in culture vials, they metabolize nutrients in the culture medium, releasing carbon dioxide into the medium.

A dye in the sensor at the bottom of
the vial reacts with CO2. This modulates the amount of light that is absorbed by a fluorescent material in the sensor. A photodetector at each station measures the level of fluorescence, which corresponds to the amount of CO2 released by organisms. Then the measurement is interpreted by the system according to pre-programmed positivity parameters.
