Microbial ID & AST System for Rapid Clinical Diagnostics

Microbial ID & AST System for Rapid Clinical Diagnostics

Product Overview

In the fast-paced environment of modern clinical diagnostics, rapid and accurate identification of pathogens is critical for effective patient care. Our state-of-the-art Microbial ID and AST System is a highly advanced automated microbiology instrument designed specifically for the identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing of clinical microorganisms, including a wide range of bacteria and fungi. Based on the latest microbial classification schemes, this system provides rapid and accurate species-level identification of clinically important pathogenic bacteria and yeasts, ensuring that clinicians receive reliable data when it matters most.

The system's robust software functions go far beyond basic testing. They not only assist clinicians in selecting the best antibiotics but also provide invaluable support for epidemiological investigations, drug resistance trend analysis, and comprehensive hospital infection management. Utilizing a dual-detection principle, the system employs a colorimetric method for microorganism identification and a turbidity method for antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST), eliminating the need for any additional tests. The photoelectric micro-well detection utilizes an 8-road detection unit, ensuring no interference between micro-wells and delivering test results that require no manual review. With results available in as little as 4 to 6 hours, this Microbial ID and AST System is the ultimate solution for modern laboratories.

Intended Use

This product is a highly reliable Microbial ID and AST System intended for the automated identification and susceptibility profiling of clinical microorganisms. It is designed for professional use in hospital microbiology laboratories, infectious disease clinics, and public health centers to support targeted antimicrobial therapy and epidemiological tracking.

Key Applications

This versatile automated microbiology instrument is essential for a wide range of medical settings:

• Clinical Microbiology Labs: Rapidly identifying clinical microorganism isolates and performing accurate antibiotic susceptibility testing to guide targeted antimicrobial therapy and reduce time-to-treatment.

• Hospital Infection Control: Utilizing the integrated hospital infection surveillance reports (compliant with GB15982) to track nosocomial infections and monitor drug resistance rate changes for effective hospital infection management.

• Infectious Disease Wards: Leveraging the expert system to validate resistance mechanisms and phenotype profiles, ensuring clinicians select the most appropriate antibiotic treatments for complex infections.

• Public Health & Epidemiology: Connecting seamlessly with LIS and transferring data to WHONET to support regional epidemiological investigations and drug resistance trend analysis.
