BIOMIC V3 is an open system utilizing digital imaging to automate the reading and CLSI and EUCAST interpretation of clinical microbiology tests and QC from various manufacturers.

BIOMIC V3 systems are customized with optional modules: Disk Diffusion, 96-Well Microtiter, MIC Strip, Organism ID, Colony Count, and Urine Screen. 

BIOMIC V3 provides a digital record of test results and high-resolution images. An LIS/LIMS interface combined with bar code reading and touch-screen entry on a 24-inch monitor offers labs an optimal setup to standardize, record and report test results.
