Microring
®
YT is a filter paper ring used for the identification of clinically important yeasts, especially Candida species. Microring
®
YT
uses the organism’s profile of susceptibilities to a small range of reagents as the basis of identification.
Microring
®
YT carries 6 tips impregnated with a range of dyes and antifungal reagents. Each tip acts like an individual disc because
of the isolating hydrophobic barrier. Following overnight incubation, the resistance/sensitivity results of the individual tips are used
to produce a 6-figure code which is matched against a database to give the identity of the yeast.

Procedure
1. Spread sample of test organism onto a plate containing
anaerobic agar.
2. Using sterile forceps, carefully place Microring
®
YT in
the center of the plate. Press each tip gently to ensure
contact with surface.
3. Incubate for 24-48 hours at 37° C under anaerobic
conditions.
4. Following incubation, growth patterns around each tip
are read and used to identify the organism.
