We are making identification easy with the release of the Hardy Diagnostics HardyCHROM™ Group A Strep Agar.
Our new chromogenic medium allows for an easy-to-read and straight forward selective cultivation and differential isolation of Group A Streptococcus (S. pyogenes) or GAS.
GAS can be differentiated on this medium based on colony color (red, red-brown, or red-orange colonies) among other non-GAS bacteria that are part of the throat flora (blue, clear, or white colonies) after 24 hours of incubation.
“So happy to know I can rely on you to tell me what's going on. We had to leave XXX because they would never tell us why we weren't getting our media and couldn't verify that there was not an issue with the process. They had a production issue and just didn't want to tell us. Since we couldn't trust them anymore, we came to you! I can honestly say I'm happier with Hardy! :) “
