Products
Direct-from-urine phenotypic AST kit (Research Use Only)
A research-use-only assay kit that uses bio-labeling chemistry and fluorescence readout to assess bacterial viability and determine antimicrobial susceptibility/MIC directly from urine samples.
blAST
blAST is a Bio-Labeled Antimicrobial Susceptibility Test (AST) that uses award-winning click chemistry to analyze antimicrobial sensitivity directly from urine samples, providing single-shift results in approximately 6 hours without requiring a growth phase.
