The autoSCAN-4 System processes panels in seconds, simplifying identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing (ID/AST) while standardizing results. Over 30 years of exceptional instrument reliability and our conventional panel technology – with the fewest FDA limitations in automated ID/AST – make the autoSCAN-4 an excellent supplemental system for difficult organisms or as a primary instrument for low-volume usage.

As the foundation of our identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing (ID/AST) products, Conventional panels deliver accuracy, choice, and flexibility. With the fewest FDA limitations of leading automated ID/AST systems, use of conventional panels reduces supplemental testing costs and reporting delays associated with rapid only systems.
- Direct minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) susceptibility methodology helps ensure detection of emerging and low-level resistance, while combo ID/AST formats provide creative workflow solutions.
- Our exclusive, PROMPT™ inoculation method with 4-hour stability reduces inoculum preparation time by over 40% when compared to turbidity methods.

The WalkAway plus System delivers gold-standard accuracy for microorganism identification and susceptibility testing. This system delivers accurate emerging resistance detection for the toughest pathogens, including VISA, VRSA, and MRSA.
-
- Detects the presence of viable Mycobacterium tuberculosis
- Performs susceptibility testing simultaneously and within the same procedure.
- Detects resistance to both isoniazid and rifampicin; the two most commonly used drugs for therapy.
- Uses liquid culture for accelerated growth.
- Utilizes the TB cording phenomenon for identification, which is easily viewed with an inverted microscope.
- Detects susceptible, mono-resistant, and multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB usually within a 5 to 10 day incubation period.
- Can be used to monitor patients on therapy. Detects only living organisms.
- Cost effective and labor saving
- Ready-to-use antibiotics available in an easy-to-dissolve tablet. No measuring, weighing, or mixing needed.
- All vials and reagents are color coded to simplify and error-proof the procedure.
- Unique protective flexible silicone sealing lid for increased safety. Tray remains permanently sealed throughout the entire incubation and examination procedure. Safety lid can be easily pierced with a needle/syringe if sub-culturing or rapid specification is necessary.

Healthcare professionals are faced with a variety of significant fastidious pathogens where resistance to an extensive number of antibiotics is rapidly on the rise. This can lead to complications ranging from pediatric ear infections to life-threatening conditions such as meningitis or sepsis. For appropriate antimicrobial therapy, accurate minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) testing should be assessed for all significant isolates.

A definitive identification (ID) in as little as 2.5 hours coupled with your hospital antibiogram provides rapid empiric therapy guidance. A good choice for common, high volume, gram-negative organisms – MicroScan Rapid panels achieve same day turnaround time for routine isolates.
-
Specialty ID panels provide same-day identification of yeast, Haemophilus/Neisseria, and anaerobic bacteria. The technology tests for the presence of pre-formed enzymes used by the organism to metabolize various substrates.
