Directions
- Surfaces: Loosen cap and remove HiDip™ slide from container taking care not to touch agar surfaces. Check for dehydration or contamination. Gently lower the slides and press agar to touch the test surface by bending the scull around the hinge line. Apply even and firm pressure for 15-20 seconds. Take care not to smudge agar over the test surface. Repeat procedure using the second agar surface on an area adjacent to the initial test side. Return the slide to the container and close tightly. Incubate in an up right position at indicated temprature.
- Liquids: Loosen cap and remove the HiDip™ slide from container. Check for dehydration or contamination. Dip slide into test fluid for upto 15-20 seconds so that agar surface becomes totally covered. (In case of inadequate liquid sample availability, pour sample over the surface of the slide). Allow to drain. Tab it gently to remove excess fluid from surface. Return the slide to the container and close tightly. Incubate in an upright position at indicated temprature. Label the container for sample number, source, date and time etc. for reference.
Principle And Interpretation
MacConkey Agar is a differential medium for the selection and recovery of the Enterobacteriaceae and related enteric gram-negative bacilli. crystal violet, NaCl and bile salts. It is very selective and suppresses growth of a number of gram-positive bacteria including Staphylococci.
C.L.E.D.Agar is recommended for isolation, enumeration and identification of urinary pathogens on the basis of lactose fermentation.
Sabouraud Chloramphenicol Agar is recommended for cultivation of yeasts and moulds. Chloramphenicol inhibits a wide range of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria which makes the medium selective for fungi. The low pH favors fungal growth and inhibits contaminating bacteria from clinical specimens.
Type of specimen
Clinical sample: Urine; Food and dairy samples, Water samples.
Specimen Collection and Handling
Refer Directions.
Warning and Precautions
In Vitro diagnostic use. For professional use only. Read the label before opening the container. Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection. Follow good microbiological lab practices while handling specimens and culture. Standard precautions as per established guidelines should be followed while handling clinical specimens. Safety guidelines may be referred in individual safety data sheets.
Limitations:
MacConkey Agar:
- Though the medium is recommended for selective isolation, further biochemical and serological testing must be carried out for further confirmation.
C.L.E.D.Agar
- This medium is recommended for urine infection. Low urine count may be a result of antibiotic therapy, low pH of urine.
- Recovery depends on the urine count.
- Inoculate the medium immediately after urine collection.
Sabouraud Chloramphenicol Agar
- Certain pathogenic fungi may show poor growth on this medium.
- Presence of chloramphenicol may inhibit certain pathogenic fungi.
Performance and Evaluation
Performance of the medium is expected when used as per the direction on the label within the expiry period when stored at recommended temperature.
