Microbiology section:

 

1. BD FX-40 automated blood culture analyzer

BD_FX-40_automated_blood_culture_analyzer

The BD BACTEC™ FX40 Automated Blood Culture System is an automated blood culture instrument used for the growth and detection of organisms present in blood samples. It uses BD's unique resin media, which neutralizes antimicrobials present in the blood allowing for faster recovery of organisms.

2. Automated ID & AST analyser: Vitek 2 compact

Automated_ID___AST_analyser_Vitek

VITEK 2 systems use Advanced Colorimetry, an identification technology that enables identification of routine clinical isolates.

The system includes an ADVANCED EXPERT SYSTEM (AES) that analyzes MIC patterns and detects phenotypes for most organisms tested. Rapid results allow clinicians to discontinue empiric therapy and prescribe targeted therapy, resulting in improved patient outcomes and enhanced antibiotic stewardship.

With its ability to provide accurate “fingerprint” recognition of bacterial resistance mechanisms and phenotypes, the ADVANCED EXPERT SYSTEM (AES) is a critical component of VITEK 2 technology.

  • Molecular Pathology

1. Cepheid Gene Xpert

Cepheid_Gene_Xpert

Method : Automated PCR

Gene Xpert Instrument automate and integrate sample purification, nucleic acid amplification, and detection of the target sequence using real- time reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) and real-time PCR assays.

The advantages of GeneXpert Instrument are high sensitivity, speed (result in 2 hours), real-time PCR detection, exclusion of sample contamination.

2. BioFire Torch Filmarray 

BioFire_Torch_Filmarray

Method: Multiplex PCR

The BioFire System utilizes multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology—a process that simultaneously amplifies the nucleic acid of multiple targets in a single chemical reaction. A BioFire syndromic test isolates, amplifies, and detects the DNA of microorganisms that cause overlapping signs and symptoms.

The FDA-cleared BIOFIRE System panels test for viruses, bacteria, parasites, yeast, and antimicrobial resistance genes.
The BIOFIRE System delivers actionable answers in about an hour. Faster results may lead to fewer downstream diagnostic tests, may improve antimicrobial stewardship, and may support better infection control.
