Reduce Hands-on-Time
Improve Your Workflow
After primary isolation, handling is minimized in a simple inoculum preparation, standardization and dilution step. The standardized inoculum is placed into the cassette and a sample identification number is entered into the computer software via barcode.
Traceability
The VITEK 2 card type is then read from the barcode placed on the card during manufacture and the card is thus connected to the sample ID. Manufacturer barcodes link the card to patient information in this one easy barcode reading step.
Load and Go
Place the cassette in the filler module. When the cards are filled, transfer the cassette to the reader/incubator module. All subsequent steps are handled by the instrument.
