Microbiology

Complete In-House Culture & Sensitivity

Take control of your own C&S lab and enjoy quick, accurate and cost effective results.

No other company produces a similar system that meets reference lab standards with ease of use:


1. Get fast preliminary results with our MultiChrome and DermatoChrome Plates

2. Narrow your results and perform multiple tests at once with our Sensitivty Sensi-Rings

3. Confer results easily and clearly with our patient info forms

-- Do it all in our patented Mini-Incubator and SAVE TIME

Reasons to use the Kacey Microbiology system.

Save Time. Save Money.

Results in 24 hours!

Need a rush on a C&S test? Run both the MultiChrome and the Sensi-Ring concurrently and obtain both results in 24 hours!  Inoculate a MultiChrome Bi-Plate to determine the type of bacteria, then inoculate a Mueller Hinton plate with your sample and lay in a Sensi-Ring for sensitivity. Your results for both will process at the same time.  A reference lab would charge a premium for a rush sample!

MultiChrome Culture Bi-plates

Kacey Diagnostics Multichrome Culture Bi-plates.

MultiChrome™ isolates Gram Positive and Gram Negative organisms

Designed to ignite individual, distinct colors within the bacteria allowing in-house detection and identification of pathogens at a fraction of the cost of an outside lab! Each plate is individually packaged in sterile wrapper with 12 months expiration from date of purchase.


Each plate is labeled with two halves: GN (Gram Negative) and GP (Gram Positive) to provide a clear and simple testing procedure.


Why test only for UTI with recycled, old human technology when you can test for 9 areas of the body affected by pathogenic bacteria!?

Please Note:

It is best to dilute urine to a 1:1 ratio when performing bacteria tests.
