QUALITY CONTROL STRAINS (KWIK-STIK)

Image

CAUTION

This article is worded and codified by unit to make the order easier, but is always packaged in kit of 2 swabs

Definition

Microorganism strains with predictable characteristics used as training or as quality controls to verify the performance of assays, reagents or media that are intended to be used in:

  • microbial testing for the detection and identification of a cultured microorganism isolate.
  • detection of specific resistance mechanisms (ESBL, MRSA,...) and are used to check that routine susceptibility testing will result in the correct categorisation.

Each Kwik-Stik strain contains a pellet of lyophilised micro-organism, an ampoule of hydrating fluid and inoculating swab.

Specifications

Traceable to the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC®) or other authentic reference culture collections
