Right from the moment it launched, API® completely revolutionized the field of bacteriology. API® brings together high quality and ease of use with standardized, miniaturized strips of biochemical tests to use with comprehensive identification databases. With API®, bacterial and fungal identification is simple, rapid and reliable.
That’s why today, API® is recognized as THE REFERENCE for identification of bacterial and fungal species.
- API® strips are established as the reference technique worldwide: on top of routine use, it is also used to assess the performance of other identification products
- API® products have led to the identification of new bacterial species (e.g.: within the Staphylococcus and Streptococcus genera)
- Now supported by apiweb™ for easy interpretation
With multiple biochemical reactions in limited wells along with a wide identification database on the market, API® makes bacterial identification reliable and accurate.
- Brings standardization
- API® numerical identification calculation method, with related software, makes identification easy and ensures accuracy
- Regularly updated databases and software applications
- Most extensive range available
- 15 identification systems – practically all groups of bacteria and yeasts
- Over 700 different species
- Around 1,000 different biochemical tests in routine use
API® is easy to use and implement for both routine use and as a complementary method in labs that primarily use automated methods.
