BluEcoli™ Urine Biplate (Blood Agar/Chromogenic E. coli), for detection of E. coli.

• Primary plating medium when culturing urine specimens
• Culture and isolation of urinary pathogens
• Blue color detection of E. coli
• Helpful in spotting mixed infections

A revolutionary agar bi-plate for screening urine specimens for E. coli, which causes about 85% of all urinary tract infections (UTI). Blood Agar (side 1) is recommended as a primary plating medium when culturing urine specimens.

BluEcoli™ (side 2) is a urine culture medium used for the culture and isolation of urinary pathogens and for the identification of E. coli which turns blue within 24 hours by using chromogenic substrates.

Inoculate both sides of the biplate with the urine specimen. If the infecting organism is E. coli, the colonies on the chromogenic side of the biplate will turn blue.

With the BluEcoli™ Urine Biplate, you can select a colony from the blood agar side of the biplate for susceptibility testing.
