API 20E Identification System for Enterobacteriaceae
Rapid and Reliable Identification of Gram-Negative Bacteria
API 20E is a widely used identification system for Enterobacteriaceae and other non-fastidious Gram-negative rods. It offers a comprehensive and accurate approach to identifying these bacteria, facilitating timely and appropriate treatment decisions in clinical and research settings.
API 20E X100 Product Description
API 20E X100 is a standardized identification system for non-fastidious Gram-negative rods. It consists of 20 biochemical tests arranged in a single strip, allowing for convenient and efficient determination of bacterial characteristics. After inoculation with the bacterial sample, the strip is incubated for up to 48 hours, and the results are interpreted based on the color changes observed in the various reactions.
