Products
Direct-from-blood-culture sample-preparation platform (standardized inoculum generation)
Compact benchtop platform that processes positive blood culture aliquots to produce a standardized 0.5 McFarland inoculum for direct disk-diffusion antimicrobial susceptibility testing; workflow characterized by a three-step procedure with low hands-on time and average preparation runtime.
Automated rapid AST system (under development)
Automated instrument under development intended to provide rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing in clinical settings; currently in clinical evaluation and pilot trials.
