Invicta Animal Health has launched an enhanced version of the popular ChroMyco® Duo dermatophyte test.
The tests utilise a new round plate with improved lid design. Additionally the plates are wider and deeper providing 25% more culture medium.
The dual plate test with Dermatophyte Test Media (DTM) on one side and an Enhanced Sporulation Agar (ESA) on the other greatly reduces the risk of false positive results. The test is performed by veterinary staff taking a pluck of fur or skin scrape from the lesion and inoculating both sides. After three to six days of room temperature incubation, if dermatophytes are present, the DTM will turn red and the ESA will turn blue-green.
Commenting on the launch of the new ChroMyco®Duo, Rob Watkins, Managing Director of Invicta, said: “We always listen and respond to customer feedback. The new design plates provide reduced condensation levels and by being easier to inoculate will enhance the usability and hence reliability of the test. ”
The price remains unchanged at just £32.00 for 5 tests and are available in veterinary wholesalers.
