Thermo Fisher Scientific Brilliance Candida User guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the Thermo Scientific Brilliance Candida user guide and I'm ready to assist you. This document provides instructions for the presumptive identification of Candida species using color changes on a special agar. It describes how to incubate the plates and read results to identify different types of Candida. Feel free to ask me anything about this.
  • What is the incubation temperature?
    How long should the plate be incubated?
    What color is C. albicans/C. dubliniensis after 24 hours of incubation?
    What color is C. krusei after 24-48 hours of incubation?
