Products
Fully automated rapid phenotypic AST benchtop system
Benchtop diagnostic instrument that automates sample preparation and broth microdilution-based phenotypic susceptibility testing to deliver MIC values and SIR categorisation rapidly (≈6 hours) with continuous random access.
Consumable kit: sample preparation cartridge and AST disc with frozen insert
Single-use consumable kit comprising a cartridge with pre-deposited reagents and a frozen insert, and an AST disc containing hundreds of culturing chambers pre-filled with antimicrobials at multiple concentrations; barcoded for traceability.
