Achieve definitive Legionella identification with Hardy Diagnostics Buffered Charcoal Yeast Extract (BCYE) Agar Biplates, the two-section plate combining BCYE with L-Cysteine and BCYE without Cysteine for cysteine-dependence testing on a single convenient format. This complementary biplate design enables simultaneous cultivation and confirmatory identification of Legionella species through comparison of growth patterns between sections - Legionella will grow on the cysteine-containing section but not on the cysteine-free section, providing definitive identification from water systems, cooling towers, and environmental samples suspected of harboring these fastidious bacteria.
The 15 mm x 100 mm format with 12 mL fill volume per section eliminates the need for separate plates during Legionella identification procedures, conserving sample volume and incubator space while streamlining the confirmation workflow. Manufactured from optically clear polystyrene for distortion-free viewing of characteristic Legionella colony morphology, these heavy-duty plates feature raised stacking rings to prevent slippage during handling and breathable sleeve packaging of 10 plates that prevents condensation buildup, maintaining optimal plate quality throughout shelf life for reliable Legionella recovery and identification.
