Microbial identification

The RapID range of microbial identification systems is easy to use and allows the accurate identification of a comprehensive range of microorganisms in 4 hours.

The method has demonstrated good performance in the identification of oxidase negative Enterobacteriaceae, anaerobic bacteria, Gram-negative glucose non-fermenters, Corynebacteriumspecies, yeasts and related organisms, and streptococci and related organisms. A system is now available for the identification of staphylococci and related organisms.

RapID identification panels have a simple, one-step inoculation procedure. A suspect colony suspension is simply added to the inoculation tray and tipped into the test strip, inoculating each well simultaneously. Furthermore, each RapID panel has the same simple procedure, allowing users to pick up the method easily without having to remember different procedures for different organism groups. The clearly visible colour reactions are easy to read and the user-friendly, Windows-based ERIC software, with nine comprehensive databases for accurate and reliable results ranked by probability. A probability of \>95% is necessary for species level identification to be made, ensuring that incorrect identifications are minimised.
