FIRST AUTOMATED STREAKING SYSTEM INTEGRATED WITH THE RAPID BACTERIA CULTURE THE FIRST REAL WALK-AWAY SYSTEM! Alifax presents the real walk-away system for rapid bacterial culture and plate streaking of liquid samples. The system is composed of two units: Alfred 60AST and Sidecar. Thanks to the Light Scattering technology, Alfred 60AST detects the presence of bacteria and their drug resistance in a few hours with high sensitivity and specificity. Alfred 60AST monitors the growth phases of bacteria from the inoculum step into specific culture broths providing real time growth curves and quantitative bacterial results in CFU/ml. Broth turbidity level is detected by the McFarland Monitor and as the sample reaches the 0.5 McF it is buffered into the refrigerated area and then tested with a customised antibiotic panel. Sidecar is an automated streaking system able to store 240 Petri dishes and up to 12 different media. The streaked dishes are incubated on board at 37°C for the requested analysis time. In the main operating setting only the positive samples are plated automatically. Advantages · · · · · · · · Negative samples are reported in one day Significant reduction of streaked samples Saving materials and time for reading Different streaking patterns Incubation on board at 37°C Single sample management with customized analysis profile settings Automated barcode labelling for single plate Compatible with different primary disposable tubes WindowsTM operative System TESTS AND APPLICATIONS Urine culture 3 hours, cutoff 30.000 CFU/ml Residual Antimicrobial Activity (RAA) test Simultaneously to the culture test Human Biological Liquid Bacterial Culture 6 hours, cutoff <50 CFU/ml Bacteria Culture on special sample 6 hours, cutoff <50 CFU/ml MDRO culture screening Aerobics, Anaerobics and Fungi detection 48 hours for microbiological suitability tests Susceptibility testing with customised antibiotic panel for: · Urine · Human Biological Liquids · Positive Blood Culture · Isolated Colonies All the applications currently offered by Light Scattering technology are kept unchanged thus Bacterial Culture of Biological Liquids and MDRO screening results are available in 6 hours while Susceptibility testing results in 3 hours.
