BD Phoenix Yeast ID Panel is a self-inoculating (when used with a BD Phoenix Automated Microbiology System) polystyrene panel (tray) containing control wells and substrate wells with dried biochemical substrates that use traditional qualitative microbiology methods such as fermentation, oxidation, degradation, and hydrolysis in combination with chromogenic and fluorogenic substrates along with carbon sources for yeast identification.

Hazard

Esculin, a substrate used in other panels and normally in A16 well, was found in A17 well. A17 in yeast panels is supposed to be an empty well and is not a part of the normal ID evaluation. However, A17 is checked for fluorescence and if anything is found, the system will abort the panel with the message Fluorescent interference has been detected. Esculin is expected to trigger this fluorescence and test cancellation.
