Description

ParaPak C&S (Culture and Sensitivity) is a system for collection, transportation and preservation of bacterial enteric pathogen, when maximum sensitivity is required from a stool culture procedure.

30 ml plastic disposable vials are filled with 15 ml of modified Cary-Blair transport medium, containing Phenol Red indicator. This isotonic non-nutritive medium will preserve the viability of delicate pathogens (as Shigella and Campylobacter) preventing overgrowth by commensal organisms.

A change in color of the indicator from red to yellow will indicate an overgrowth and improper storage of the specimen.

Features

-          Leak-proof screw cap with collection spoon

-          Enteric pathogen survival for 96 hours and longer

Storage

The ParaPak C&S must be stored at Room Temperature.
