Biotest is offering its Hygiene Screening System for rapid identification of microorganisms from hygiene monitoring samples.
Corynebacterium, Staphylococcus, Micrococcus, Kocuria, and Kytococcus can be detected starting from a single bacterial colony.
The method is based on a real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technology.
Assignment to either one or other of the genera is possible within a single PCR reaction in less than two hours.
