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.
The BacterOMIC system has obtained European CE IVD certification granting it approval for sale on the European Union market.
The BacterOMIC project received from CeCert Sp. z o. o. the certificate of compliance with the ISO 13485:2016-04 standard.
BACTEROMIC Sp. z o.o.
The BacterOMIC system has been developed by the Scope Fluidics Group, which develops innovative medical diagnostic devices as part of its special purpose vehicle Bacteromic sp. z o.o.

Technology
BacterOMIC is the world’s unique solution with the ultimate goal of being able to test as many as 640 bacterial culture conditions in a single test. This will translate into the capacity to compose a single test for the vast majority of clinically used antibiotics.
OUR PATENTS
Microfluidic chip
EP 3 546 067 B1
The invention is intended for microbiological testing cards, particularly for microbial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). It represents our core technology and protects the architecture of the microfluidic chip for microbiological testing. The European patent has been validated in 15 countries. In addition, in 2023 a patent for this invention issues in China. Patent application is still pending in the US.
Incubation segment with an unvented gas cavity in a microfluidic chip
EP 3 546 565 B1
The object of the invention is the geometry of a single incubation segment in a microfluidic chip, suitable for microbiological research. The European patent has been validated in 14 countries. Additionally, patent applications in the US and China are pending.
Method and system for rapidly testing antimicrobial susceptibility
EP 3 597 768 B1
The invention protects a rapid signal analysis method of determining the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) based on standard measurements in the shortest possible time to date. Using the method, system or application, it is possible to reduce the incubation time of a standard antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) using broth dilution, or to increase the precision of qualitative or quantitative antimicrobial susceptibility determinations. Patents for the invention are in force in 14 European countries. In addition, two patent applications are pending in the US and China.
A syringe-plug and a cartridge for analytic assays comprising such a syringe-plug
WO 2022/243860 A1
The invention is a syringe-plug and a cartridge for analytic assays, in particular microbiological assays, including microbial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). Determination of antimicrobial resistance of many microbes requires culturing of said microbes, exposing them to defined agents and monitoring their growth. According to the invention a syringe-plug is provided for placement in a sample chamber of a cartridge for analytic assays, and it comprises a tank pre-filled with a non-aquatic liquid. International patent application is pending.
Method and system for prediction of microorganism growth using artificial intelligence
WO 2023/006967 A1
The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for real-time prediction of microorganism growth or growth inhibition of a microorganism inoculum using artificial intelligence (AI). This method relates in particular to a phenotypic antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST), as well as to a rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing system. International patent application for this invention is pending.
