Fully Automated Microbial ID/AST System

Key Features:

1. Microbial ID/AST Card: The system utilizes specialized Microbial ID/AST cards featuring colorimetry for microbial identification and turbidimetry for susceptibility testing. These cards are designed to adhere to the latest Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) and European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) guidelines, ensuring accuracy and reliability in results.
2. Test Principle: The system employs colorimetry for microbial identification, allowing for accurate species and even subspecies identification among over 500 common pathogens. Turbidimetry is utilized for susceptibility testing, enabling the determination of the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics against microbial isolates.
3. Comprehensive Coverage: The Microbial ID/AST cards cover a wide range of routine microbes, encompassing over 500 species and subspecies. Additionally, the system offers nearly 200 types of antibiotics with multi-level concentration options, allowing for up to 9-dilution testing to provide true MIC values.
4. Combo Test Cards: Combo test cards are available to deliver more rigorous and accurate results in microbial identification and AST. These cards enhance the system's versatility and reliability in diagnosing microbial infections and guiding antibiotic therapy decisions.
5. Multi-Drug Resistance Monitoring: The system includes functionality for monitoring multi-drug resistance patterns, including resistance to methicillin (MRSA), beta-lactam antibiotics (B-lactam), vancomycin (VRE, VRSA), high-level aminoglycoside resistance (HLAR), extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs), and more. This feature enables clinicians to track emerging resistance trends and optimize antimicrobial therapy strategies.
6. The Fully Auto Microbial ID/AST System represents a state-of-the-art solution for microbial identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing, offering comprehensive coverage, accurate results, and advanced resistance monitoring capabilities for effective management of infectious diseases in clinical settings.

1. Capacity: The system has a capacity to process up to 60 cards simultaneously, enabling high throughput testing to meet the demands of busy clinical laboratories.
2. Minimum Report Time: With a minimum report time of up to 8 hours, the system offers rapid turnaround for microbial identification and AST results, facilitating timely patient management and treatment decisions.
3. Integrated Components: The 96A Microbial ID/AST System is seamlessly integrated with a reader, expert system, and incubator, streamlining the testing process and ensuring efficient workflow. Additionally, it features a built-in barcode reader for sample tracking and traceability.
4. Operating System: Built on the Windows platform, the system provides a familiar and user-friendly interface, enhancing ease of use and compatibility with existing laboratory systems.
5. Updated Database: The system's database is regularly updated with the latest guidelines from organizations such as the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) and the European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST), ensuring compliance with current standards and recommendations.
6. Antimicrobial Drug Classification: Antimicrobial drugs are classified into categories A, B, C, U, and O, in accordance with CLSI regulations. This classification system facilitates clear and concise reporting of Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) results.
7. LIS/HIS and WHONET Support: The system offers seamless integration with Laboratory Information Systems (LIS) and Hospital Information Systems (HIS), as well as support for WHONET, enabling efficient data management and sharing across healthcare facilities.
8. Multi-Language Interface: With a multi-language interface, the system caters to users from diverse linguistic backgrounds, ensuring accessibility and ease of understanding.
9. Statistical Analysis: Equipped with robust statistical functions, the system enables in-depth analysis of data from various perspectives, empowering clinicians and laboratory professionals with valuable insights for decision-making and research purposes.
10. The 96A Microbial ID/AST System represents a comprehensive solution for microbial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing, offering advanced features, rapid results, and enhanced usability to meet the evolving needs of clinical microbiology laboratories.
