Thermo Scientific™ RapID™ STR System

Description

• Identify streptococci and related genera in just four hours using the Thermo Scientific™ RapID™ STR System, an identification system based on enzyme technology
• The RapID STR System is a qualitative micromethod employing conventional and chromogenic substrates for the identification of medically important Streptococci and related organisms which have been isolated from human clinical specimens
• One-step inoculation —decreased prep time for increased productivity Manual microbial identification made easy —no oil, no pipetting, no 24-hr incubation Four-hour incubation* —quicker time-to-result for a faster response Common procedure —lessened materials usage saves time and money Visible color reactions —reduced subjectivity decreases repeat testing Better reporting —more coverage, advanced updates *Two-hour incubation for RapID SS/u
• A clear plastic tray contains reagent impregnated wells, allowing simultaneous inoculation of each cavity with a predetermined volume of inoculum
• A suspension of test organism in RapID Inoculation Fluid is used as the inoculum which rehydrates and initiates test reactions
• After incubation, each cavity is examined for reactivity by noting the development of a color
• In some cases, reagents must be added to the cavities to provide a color change
• The resulting pattern of positive and negative scores is used as the basis for identification of the test isolate by comparison of test results to reactivity patterns stored in a database, or through the use of a computer-generated Code Compendium (ERIC)
• Requires: RapID Inoculation Fluid (R8325102)
