Description
Today’s global healthcare challenges like Multi-Drug Resistant Organisms (MDRO) mean that microbiology labs need to be flexible and responsive to provide the right information at the right time. The efficiency of the VITEK® 2 COMPACT instrument and VITEK® 2 PC software offers you the capacity to help improve therapeutic success and patient outcomes1 through reliable microbial identification (ID) and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST). The instrument also lets you enhance laboratory efficiencies with reduced hands-on time and rapid reporting capabilities2. All this, in a cost-effective, space-saving design.
- Space-saving, automated & efficient
- Works with VITEK® 2 PC LIS-compatible software that evolves with microbiology needs
- Reduces hands-on time for enhanced workflow & rapid reporting
CONVENIENT & AUTOMATED
Designed to provide ID/AST results in as little as 6 to 8 hours3, VITEK® 2 COMPACT works with economical, ready-to-use VITEK® 2 ID/AST cards.
Safety is optimized with minimal reagent preparation and reduced handling in a closed, disposable system. The VITEK® 2 COMPACT is simple to use:
- After primary organism isolation, there is minimal handling with a simple standardized inoculum
- Place the inoculum into the VITEK® 2 Cassette
- The VITEK® 2 Card and sample are linked via barcode
- Once the Cassette is loaded, the instrument handles all subsequent steps for incubation and reading
- Results at a glance:
- Intuitive interface
- Easy-to-access results with multiple filters
- Bidirectional connection with your LIS
- Automatic validation & transfer of preliminary results
- Intuitive interface
