The API Staph System. The API Staph System, produced by bioMerieux of Raleigh, North Carolina is a reliable method for identifying 23 species of staphylococci. This system consists of 19 microampules that contain dehydrated substrates and/or nutrient media.Except for the coagulase test, all the tests are importatnt in differentiation of Staphylococcus, Kocuria, and Micrococcus.ext, a sterile Pasteur pipette is used to dispense 2 to 3 drops of the bacterial suspension to each microcupule. The inocculated tray is covered and incubated aerobically for 18-24 hours at 35-37 degrees Celsius. Finally a seven-digit profile number is obtained and used to determine the identity of the organism.
