Microorganisms Identification

Product Line

API®

API® makes microbial identification simple and reliable. API® combines a simplified standardized method with comprehensive and robust microbial identification databases. It is quickly and easily implemented in any microbiology laboratory. With a long shelf life and short learning curve, API® requires no analytical instrumentation and provides a cost-effective solution for routine identification.

VITEK® 2

VITEK® 2 Compact is a fully automated system that ensures excellence in routine microbial identification.

VITEK® 2 Compact includes a comprehensive identification database, which allows the detection of a wider variety of microorganisms. All identification stages, from reading to recording results, are automated, optimizing workflow. Guarantee data integrity with smarter workflows:

● Closed testing cards prevent contamination and erroneous results
● Objective analysis eliminates human subjectivity
● Complies with BAM and ISO 7218 standard
● Logging, tracking, and reporting of user actions on the Audit Trail
● Barcoded reagents for traceability and ease of use
● Comprehensive database created to meet the needs of industry manufacturers
● Fully automated to allow users to perform other lab tasks
● Two-hour results for most gram-positive and gram-negative species
● Available in 15, 30 or 60 card capacities to meet the needs of any laboratory.

The system works with barcoded cards, ensuring full traceability and minimizing the risk of transcription errors. Available cards include:
GN CARD
(Gram negative bacillus)
Time to obtain results: 2 to 10 hours
GP CARD
(Gram positive cocci)
Time to obtain results: 2 to 8 hours
YST CARD
(Yeast-like microorganisms)
Time to obtain results: 18 hours
ANC CARD
(Anaerobic bacteria)
Time to obtain results: 6 hours
BCL CARD
(Gram-positive spore-forming rods)
Time to obtain results: 14 hours
CBC CARD
(Corynebacterium)
Time to obtain results: 8 hours
