The Science Behind onSite®
The onSite Urine Culture Device is a transparent, hinged casing containing face-to-face plates of agar with a plastic sampler with two curved tips located between the plates. The agar structure is elongated to ensure longitudinal streaking of urine by the sampler. Each onSite device contains one plate of MacConkey agar, a selective medium that provides excellent differentiation between coliforms and non-lactose fermenters with inhibition of gram positive cocci, and one plate of CLED Agar — A differential medium that supports the growth of both gram positive and gram negative bacteria, CLED agar also supports the growth of Pseudomonas and Proteus, which do not ferment lactose.

Enhanced Laboratory Efficiency
onSite combines the sensitivity and specificity of the traditional urine culture method with the convenience and efficiency of a unique design for detecting, enumerating, and identifying specific bacteria in urine.

onSite Provides

• Easy set up at the point of specimen collection
• Immediate inoculation for rapid organism recovery
• Conventional "Gold Standard" culture methodology
• Compact, self-contained test
• Ability to incubate more tests per cubic foot
• Safe and effective means of specimen transportation

onSite Eliminates Leaky or spilled urine specimens Additional disposals such as Boric acid, containers and loops Delays that impact accurate colony counts Need for refrigeration of urine samples during transportation Delayed specimen transport Sharps exposure Excessive biohazard waste
