BacterOMIC takes antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) to the next level
by offering quantitative evaluation of all clinically relevant antibiotics
and identificaton of synergistic pairs of antibiotics
The system uses the most trusted microdilution AST, combined with cutting-edge microfluidics to provide unprecedented information density on a single disposable panel. Our technology delivers the first fully comprehensive test – a single panel contains up to 80 clinically relevant antibiotics, or up to 20 checkerboard combinations of antibiotics. For each antibiotic BacterOMIC provides a true MIC value.
