BACTEROMIC

Learn about our system

BacterOMIC is a diagnostic system designed to address one of the most important challenges in modern medicine – multidrug resistance.

BacterOMIC consists of an Analyzer, Filling Device, and Panels for drug susceptibility assessment. As an automated system, it significantly simplifies and shortens laboratory procedures used in the evaluation of drug susceptibility of microorganisms.

The system allows phenotypic evaluation of the efficacy of 25 antibiotics used to treat respiratory, blood, urinary tract, or skin infections, among others.

Owing to the determination and expertise of a team of biotechnologists, engineers and software developers, and an innovative approach to the problem of modern diagnostics, a device has been created with considerable market potential and offering to revolutionize antibiotic treatment.
