EnteroScreen 4
EnteroScreen 4 represents a simplified way to rapidly screen for Salmonella and Shigella without having to set up expensive automated equipment cards. Four tests are performed in just one tube! With EnteroScreen, you can pick your non-lactose fermenters from your stool cultures and quickly screen for enteric pathogens; and easily rule out the non-pathogens.
This one-tube method was developed by Gary Procop, PhD, who was seeking a better, more economical, way to perform a screen for stool pathogens. Now with an improved formula for better performance. Click here for a brochure. Click here for a complete color chart and data sheet. |
