Blood Agar/HardyCHROM™ UTI, 15x100mm biplate

One plate does it all! HardyCHROM™ UTI is a chromogenic culture medium that facilitates the isolation and differentiation of urinary tract pathogens. The development of various colors, due to chromogenic substances in the medium, allows for the differentiation of multiple microorganisms from the primary set-up of a urine specimen.
