FIRST ANALYSER FOR BACTERIAL CULTURE AND THE SUSCEPTIBILITY TESTING IN HUMAN BIOLOGICAL FLUIDS AND URINE answer to the most varied needs of modern microbiology laboratory HB&L is the first analyzer able to perform bacterial culture, RAA and susceptibility testing on samples such as urine, sterile or non sterile fluids, other biological samples and isolated colonies. Using the patented technology based on light scattering Is able to detect the presence of bacteria and their drug resistance in few hours with high HB&L monitors the growth phases of bacteria from the inoculum step into specific culture broths providing real time growth curves and quantitative bacterial count results in CFU/ml. All the samples are incubated at 37°C and only live bacteria are detected while Interference from non replicating substances such as erythrocytes, leucocytes, dead cells and salts present in the sample are eliminated during the Initial zero reading. With the new function Mc Farland Monitor, HB&L reports the 0.5 Mc Farland turbidity level reached during the culture test. Thus the sample is ready to be tested for a customized antibiotics panel without awaiting the end of the analysis and avoiding further dilution steps. The HB&L supports a bi-directional interface for sample data communication and result transmission. The software flexibility of the HB&L allows different tests to be performed simultaneously; each reading unit position is Independent from the others and can be set according to sample type, incubation time, test profile, analytical protocol and cut-off. Two HB&L models are available, one version with 120 sample positions and a 60 position "light" version for reduced workload. New application for the direct susceptibility testing from positive blood culture samples was recently Introduced.
