FUNGIFAST® Brochure

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document describes the FUNGIFAST® test, a diagnostic tool for identifying pathogenic yeasts and testing their antifungal susceptibility using the same inoculum. It is designed to be convenient, cost-effective, and rapid, suitable for both superficial and systemic infections.

Key Features:

Convenience: Combines identification and susceptibility testing in one tray using the same inoculum and incubation conditions.
Ease of Use: Features spontaneous colored reactions, pH and redox indicators, and a color chart for easy result interpretation.
Cost-Effectiveness: The kit includes all necessary reagents and does not require additional instruments.
Rapid Results: Provides results within 24 hours for most yeasts.

Methodology:

Preparation of Inoculum: Isolated colonies are placed in the SUSPENSION FUNGI vial and standardized to 2 McFarland.
MES Inoculation: 10 µl of the suspension is transferred to the MES FUNGI vial.
Tray Inoculation: Involves adding inoculated SUSPENSION FUNGI and MES FUNGI along with paraffin oil.
Incubation: Conducted at 37°C for 24-72 hours.
Results Interpretation: Based on color changes using a color chart.

Identification and Susceptibility Testing:

Identification: Detects ß-galactosaminidase and proline aminopeptidase, assimilates six carbohydrates, hydrolyzes urea, and oxidizes via phenoloxidase.
Susceptibility Testing: Uses a standardized technique with NCCLS breakpoints and a colorimetric method to test main antifungal agents like Amphotericin B, Flucytosine, Itraconazole, Fluconazole, and Voriconazole.

Product Components:

SUSPENSION FUNGI: Buffered agar medium for dilution and identification.
MES FUNGI: Modified RPMI medium for antifungal susceptibility testing.
TC FUNGI: Barium sulphate solution for turbidity control.
FUNGIFAST Tray: 20-well tray for testing one sample, with separate rows for identification and susceptibility testing.

Product Availability: Kits are available in sets of 8 or 30 tests, with specific reference numbers for ordering.

Manufacturer Information: Produced by ELITech France, with contact details provided for both the main office and the manufacturing site.
