Oxoid exhibits its extensive range at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, Prague, 1-4 May 2004
Visitors to stand 329 at ECCMID (European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, Prague, 1-4 May 2004) can view many of Oxoid's diagnostic products for clinical microbiologists.
These include Microbact - a new range of manual identification systems - and new additions to the diagnostic reagents range as well as Oxoid's extensive range of ready prepared media.
The Microbact range offers a selection of self-contained, biochemical-based tests for the identification of key pathogenic bacteria, including gram-negative bacteria, listeria species and staphylococcal species.
Oxoid diagnostic reagents are simple-to-use, rapid, agglutination tests, available in both wet and dry formats.
The DrySpot range is particularly convenient and safe to use as reagents are pre-dried onto the test cards requiring only the addition of sample.
The lack of wet reagents also means that DrySpot kits can be stored at room temperature - saving valuable space in laboratory refrigerators. With ready-to-use prepared media manufacturing sites in the UK, Germany, Canada and Australia and next day delivery via a network of worldwide subsidiaries and distributors, more and more laboratories are now choosing to use Oxoid's ready prepared media, says the company.
Available in a wide range of formats including plates, bottles, vials, bags and tubes, each batch comes complete with quality certification saving time and costs involved in media preparation and quality control procedures.
