PACK SIZE:

10 per package

A highly selective prepared-culture media device for the detection of feline Tritrichomonas foetus

InPouch® TF-Feline is a cost-effective, easy to use, broth media device for combined incubation and detection. Widely known by veterinarians for these protozoa, InPouch® TF-Feline increases specificity by inhibiting the growth of yeasts, molds, bacteria and other micro-flora.

Simply swab as little as 0.025-0.05g of fecal material and inoculate the fluid within InPouch® at the point-of-care (POC). The selective nutritive media provides presumptive-positive results of one or more live trichomonads in as little as 15 minutes at 18-25°C.

No dilution or wet mount slide preparation is needed. Dramatically reduce your workload and cost by placing InPouch® directly on the microscope stage for low power (x10) observation.

When further incubation is required, perform at 25°C. Please see Instructions for Use for further details. Incubation at 37°C is possible but may result in bacterial growth.

Simple Convenience	Combine culture, result and microscopic observation in one IVD device Highly selective prepared media in a device designed for in-vitro specimen transport and incubation Rapid presumptive diagnosis of T. foetus in cats Recommended as a parallel test with other POC rapid tests Higher recovery rate of T. foetus from cats compared to Diamond media InPouch® can be placed directly on microscope stage
