Automated Etest Code Recognition with BIOMIC V3




The BIOMIC V3 Microbiology System now includes automated Etest® (bioMerieux) code recognition in addition to automated Etest MIC reading and S-I-R interpretation.  Code recognition prevents user entry error by confirming Etests are correctly placed and positioned on the plate.  A green highlight indicates a correct code match and a red highlight indicates an incorrect code match displayed on a 21 inch touch screen monitor.  BIOMIC V3 reads 90-150mm plates and can include Etests only or a combination of Etests and antibiotic disks.  High resolution plate images are saved for future review.

BIOMIC V3’s digital imaging technology automates the reading, interpretation, and reporting of CLSI, EUCAST, and BSAC antibiotic disk diffusion tests, Etests, 96-well microtiter plates, and commercial identification panels including API® (bioMerieux), RapIDTM (Remel), BBLTM CrystalTM (BD) and chromogenic agar plates.  The addition of a bar code reader coupled with bi-directional LIS/LIMS interface capability further speeds workflow.  BIOMIC V3 serves as a primary or secondary AST-ID system for microbiology laboratories of all sizes and setups.

96 Well Microtiter Reading with BIOMIC V3



The BIOMIC V3 Microbiology System now provides automated reading, interpreting and recording of 96 well microtiter plates. This greatly improves accuracy, speed, and standardization relative to manual reading.  All test plate images and results are viewed and saved.  BIOMIC V3 reads all 96 well formats including MicroScan® (Siemens) AST* & ID plates, Sensititre® (TREK) AST* & ID plates, and custom plates.

BIOMIC V3’s advanced color digital imaging technology also automates the reading, interpretation, and reporting of CLSI/EUCAST/BSAC antibiotic disk diffusion tests, Etests® (bioMerieux), chromogenic agar, and commercial identification panels including RapIDTM (Remel), API® (bioMerieux), BBLTM CrystalTM (BD).  The addition of a bar code reader coupled with bi-directional LIS/LIMS interface capability further speeds workflow.  BIOMIC V3 serves as a primary or secondary AST-ID system for microbiology laboratories of all sizes and setups. 
*Note: Pending US-FDA 510(k) review; currently report results ‘for research use only’.
