CHROMID® B. CEPACIA ENHNACED DETECTION FOR EFFECTIVE PREVENTION

Chromogenic Medium That Detects The PresenceOf Burkholderia cepacia Organisms From Total

Aerobic Microbial Counts

CHROMID® B. CEPACIAENHANCED DETECTION FOR EFFECTIVE PREVENTION

CHROMID B. cepacia provides additional peace of mind in knowing that your sample does not harbor high-risk objectionable organisms like Burkholderia cepacia.

CHROMID B. cepacia Agar is a general purpose medium used for total aerobic microbial counts (TAMC) with an additional chromogenic substrate that enables detection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Burkholderia species.

B. cepacia colonies after 3 days incubation showing a lighter pink coloration while looking through the plate bottom

B. cepacia colonies after 5 days incubation showing a darker pink coloration on the media surface

Excellent recovery (>97%) confirmed from a library of pharmacopeia strains, aerobic andanaerobic bacteria, yeasts and molds

Color change visible within 3 days of incubation and full expression at 5 days / 30-35°C

Chromogenic substrate tested with over 100 species of B. cepacia for detection andcoloration

Mixed population dispersed with B. cepacia at 5 days incubation showing a halo like color formation on the media surface
