Advanced Microbiology Automation with MicroScan WalkAway plus Systems

go back to news archives
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics have introduced the MicroScan WalkAway plus Systems for mid- and high-volume clinical diagnostic microbiology laboratories.

The systems are the only instruments in the market that offer simultaneous automation of overnight, rapid and speciality panels that test for both gram negative and gram positive bacteria.

The WalkAway plus Systems also offer advanced automation features that improve laboratory productivity by decreasing system maintenance activity. The two new instrument models a 40-panel capacity model for medium-volume laboratories and a 96-panel capacity model for high-volume laboratories will replace the current WalkAway SI 40 and 96 Systems.

The Siemens MicroScan technology was introduced as the first advanced technology based on the sound microbiology principles of true minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) testing. This principle remains the most sensitive method to determine bacterial susceptibility to antibiotics.

The new WalkAway plus Systems combine proven MIC technology with new automated features, including automated maintenance and dial-up system diagnostics capability. Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics has nearly 60 MicroScan panels of tests, with up-to-date antibiotics including overnight, rapid and specialty panels.

The Company was the first to offer an automated identification and susceptibility testing system cleared for improved detection of the emerging resistant bacterium Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA).
