     • Identifies and enumerates key uropathogens, including:
       • Escherichia coli, Proteus spp., Providencia spp.
       • Citrobacter spp., Pseudomonas spp., Klebsiella spp.
       • Enterobacter spp., Serratia spp., Staphylococcus spp.
       • Enterococcus spp. (Group D), Candida spp.
   • Integrated AST Testing:
     • Evaluates susceptibility to a wide range of antibiotics, including:
       • Aminoglycosides: Amikacin, Gentamicin, Tobramycin
       • Beta-lactams: Piperacillin-Tazobactam, Ampicillin-Sulbactam
       • Cephalosporins: Cefixime, Cefuroxime, Cefotaxime, Ceftazidime
       • Carbapenems: Imipenem
       • Others: Fosfomycin, Nitrofurantoin, Vancomycin, Tetracycline, Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, Ofloxacin, Co-trimoxazole
2. Rapid Turnaround:
   • Delivers ID and AST results within 18–24 hours, enabling timely therapeutic interventions.
3. Ease of Use:
   • Direct Inoculation: Specimens are inoculated directly into the system.
   • Colorimetric Results: Clear and well-defined color changes for easy interpretation.
   • Automatic Reading: Compatible with automated systems for efficient result analysis.
4. Cost-Effective:
   • Reduces labor and consumable costs by consolidating multiple tests into a single panel.
5. Compact and User-Friendly:
   • Requires no complex laboratory instruments, making it accessible for diverse lab setups.

Applications

1. Clinical Microbiology:
   • Identification and susceptibility testing of pathogens causing urinary tract infections (UTIs).
2. Antimicrobial Resistance Profiling:
   • Provides data on resistance patterns to guide targeted antibiotic therapy.
3. Public Health and Infection Control:
   • Tracks resistance trends and emerging pathogens in urinary specimens.
4. Routine Laboratory Testing:
   • Simplifies workflows in diagnostic labs by integrating identification and AST in one system.

Test Procedure

1. Specimen Collection:
   • Collect urine specimens using sterile techniques.
2. Panel Inoculation:
   • Inoculate the URIN SYSTEM Chrom panel directly with the urine specimen.
3. Incubation:
   • Incubate the panel at 36 ± 1°C for 18–24 hours.
4. Interpretation:
   • Identify pathogens based on color changes in specific wells.
   • Determine antimicrobial susceptibility from growth inhibition patterns.

Benefits
