Product catalog summary
Overview: The URIFAST® is a manual, routine, rapid test designed for antimicrobial susceptibility testing of urinary Enterobacteriaceae. It provides results within 4-5 hours and is noted for its ease of use and cost-effectiveness, utilizing a visual, colorimetric reading method standardized by the PRESTO ABG®.
Key Features:
  • Fast: Handling time is approximately 1 minute, with results available in 4-5 hours.
  • Easy to Use: The test standardizes the inoculum with PRESTO ABG®, requiring no suspension medium and direct inoculation of the M4H medium from one isolated colony. Results are read by indicator color change.
  • Cost-effective: No instruments like densitometers or reading apparatus are required. The kit includes trays, M4H medium, and R4H reagent, with a divisible tray option and long shelf-life.
  • Reliable: Proven standardization and clear visual reading with a 97.3% correlation compared to other reference methods.
Methodology:
  • Reagents: The URIFAST® A B G® V2 tray contains 20 wells for one test with dehydrated antibiotics at critical concentrations. The TWIN 1C V2 tray is divisible for two tests with antibiotics at lower critical concentrations. The M4H medium contains bromothymol blue, and the R4H reagent is used for testing Proteus mirabilis strains.
  • Procedure: Inoculate the M4H medium, distribute 100 µl per well, incubate for 4.5 hours at 35-37°C, and read the results. Yellow or green indicates growth, while blue indicates no growth.
Accessories: The PRESTO ABG® is a single-use inoculator providing a standardized inoculum, available in boxes of 400 units.
Catalogue Information: The URIFAST® A B G® V2 kit includes 50 tests, and the TWIN 1C V2 kit also includes 50 tests.
Contact Information: ELITech France SAS, located in Salon de Provence, France, is the manufacturer. Contact details include phone and fax numbers for both the Salon de Provence and Signes locations.
