AMIES PS+VISCOSA 100 UNITS

AMIES medium is a modification of Cary Blair's medium, which in turn is a modification of Stuart's medium. Basically, it changes the glycerophosphate to an inorganic phosphate and the methylene blue to pharmaceutical neutral charcoal. In addition, it adds calcium and magnesium ions, which help to preserve the permeability of the bacterial cell. It allows the survival of many microorganisms, such as: Neisseria sp. Haemophilus sp. Corynebacterium sp. Trichomonas vaginalis Streptococcus pyogenes Streptococcus pneumoniae Shigella flexneri Salmonella typhi Brucella abortus Enterobacteriaceae, etc. Some microorganisms can resist in the medium for three or more days, however, it is advisable that the sample reaches the laboratory before 24 hours. Two variants are available: with or without charcoal included in the medium. Sterile by radiation. Packaging size (peel-pack): 38 x 210 mm. Swab: CE MDD Class IIa Tube: CE IVD PS breakable + viscose
