Uses
Pre-analytical microbiology automation
Automated microbiology specimen processing instrument
Improved efficiency, workflow and standardization
Improved downstream productivity with more isolated colonies

Features and Benefits
In most labs today, the pre-analytical phase of microbiology still remains manual and time-consuming. This automated pre-poured media (PPM) streaker offers improved workflow efficiency through a patented robotic system that manages 90% of the steps required to process liquid microbiology specimen samples. The Previ™ Isola provides more isolated colonies per plate than manual methods.
Inoculates
Streaks
Labels

Intelligent Design:
High Throughput: 180 plates/hour
Standardized result that is not user dependent
Increased number of isolated colonies per plate (Reference JCM publication 4/08 by John Glasson)
Assurance of quality – new applicator used for each plate
Plates labeled and sorted by environment
HEPA filter manages instrument exhaust for added safety and security
Not limited to batched sampling; can manage varying specimen types at one time

The BacT/ALERT system offers advantages in every dimension of microbial detection testing.

From its space-saving modular design to its easy touch-screen operation and flexible data management options, every size laboratory can perform microbial detection with the BacT/ALERT 3D.


Uses
BacT/ALERT® 3D is used for sepsis risk stratification and monitoring for the presence or absence of microorganisms in:
Blood
Sterile body fluids
Mycobacteria

Features and Benefits
Because it's so easy to use, BacT/ALERT® 3D saves time, facilitates cross-training and helps prevent errors. This system offers immediate bottle recognition, putting you in control of bottle loading and unloading and virtually eliminating bottle handling errors during microbial detection testing. The system's automatic, built-in quality control, along with a low false positive rate and a rapid response time of this system, means you do more in less time with greater accuracy.

The latest generation of BacT/ALERT Culture Media brings the most advanced, innovative microbial growth and detection technology to your laboratory. BacT/ALERT media provide unsurpassed performance, in the detection of a wide variety of microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, and yeasts.

With flexible data management options of an automated microbial detection system, and available with many different system options, BacT/ALERT 3D allows you to choose the best configuration for your laboratory.

Plastic Bottles Mean Safety
Safety is an important consideration for any microbial testing. bioMérieux is committed to providing the safest products possible to the microbiology laboratory. BacT/ALERT® bottles are made of unbreakable plastic to protect them from breakage. They are also lightweight to reduce the cost of disposal and shipping.
