Bottle Design
Made of Multilayer polymeric fibers
Lightweight and unbreakable, avoid biohazard
A special formula of media to improve the cultivation of fastidious bacteria
Resin microsphere guarantees antibiotics absorbing, prevents antibiotics interference; It lyses WBC and release bacteria inside to improve detection rate; Microsphere also provides enough surface for bacteria growing;
Colorless resin design completely avoids interference of gram stain against activated carbon
Resin Microspheres has a great advantage over active carbon, which is fully reflected in smear staining to positive blood culture specimen. The left one shows the specimen smear of an active carbon bottle, so we can see the background with few clouds of black that must influence on observation on smear and seeking bacteria. The right one shows the specimen smear of the resin culture bottle, which is almost transparent, so the visual field of it is very clear and the bacteria can be found easily.
