BD™ BACTEC Plus PRIME Medium

It's Red because of the Third Resin

BD first introduced resins into the blood culture sciences more than 23 years ago. The use of resins was revolutionary in sepsis management and microbe recovery by effectively neutralizing antibiotics. BD is proud to continue as an industry leader and innovator by introducing its latest triplex resin blend with BACTEC Plus PRIME.

BD introduces the next generation blood culture media with three resins. It is called PRIME. The PRIME resin has a unique dark red hue that can easily be seen throughout the BACTEC blood culture bottles. BACTEC Plus PRIME offers a triplex of cationic adsorption and hydrophobic attraction resins.

BACTEC Plus PRIME builds on the proven effectiveness of BACTEC Plus resin media, which have been shown to neutralize a wide variety of antimicrobials improving recovery and shortening time to detection.

The BD BACTEC Blood Culture System provides exceptional performance and reliability while improving workflow efficiencies from specimen collection to actionable results.

With BACTEC Plus PRIME and the BD BACTEC FX, BD demonstrates its dedication and leadership in continuing to bring innovative and quality diagnostic products and systems to the diagnostic sciences.

Not two, but three resins.
