New Etest® Click and Read with BIOMIC V3 Microbiology System

The BIOMIC V3 Microbiology System now performs semi-automated reading for all varieties of Etest® (AB BIODISK) strips.

An enlarged plate image with the Etest strip(s) and its drug specific MIC scale is displayed on-screen. The user selects the appropriate MIC value, triggering an S-I-R interpretation. Etest result(s) can be printed or transferred to an LIS. High resolution color Etest images can also be saved for future review.

The BIOMIC V3's advanced color digital imaging technology automates the reading, interpretation, and recording of CLSI antibiotic disk diffusion tests and commercial identification panels including RapID™ (Remel), API® (bioMerieux), BBL™ Crystal™ (BD). The antibiotic resistance detection and quality control features follow current CLSI guidelines.

BIOMIC V3 serves as a primary or complimentary AST-ID system for microbiology laboratories of all sizes and setups. Since 1984, Giles Scientific has successfully placed its microbiology systems in 50+ countries.
