  • New Antibiotics
  • Antibiotic Guidelines
  • Organisms

Additional BIOMIC veterinary features include:

- Automated reading of 96-Well Microtiter plates including Sensititre* (TREK) AST and ID plates

- List of animal species for inclusion on test results/printout/LIS transfer with option to modify as needed

- User expert rules including animal species as a condition (Example: Do not report gentamicin for bovine isolates)

- Customized veterinary drug panels (Examples: Small Animal Gram Positive, Equine Staph, Bovine Enteric, etc)

BIOMIC Veterinary Customer Testimonials

"Digital Workflow and Tremendous Time Savings with BIOMIC V3"

"BIOMIC V3 has simplified Kirby Bauer and QC testing  tremendously and reduced the paperwork significantly.  We love having everything archived digitally and that it will send sensitivity results directly into our online reporting system.  We have two BIOMIC V3 systems set up because of our high testing volume.  Past results and images are easy to access for both susceptibility and ID test strips including API, RapID and Crystal.  The software is updated annually to incorporate all recent CLSI guideline changes so we don’t have to remember all the rules."

"Accurate TREK panel reading and interpretation with BIOMIC V3"

"The BIOMIC V3 has been a great asset for reading and interpreting TREK Diagnostic panels. I was able to set up the BIOMIC V3 quickly, it's incredibly easy to use, and the software is easy to navigate and very user-friendly. I really love the BIOMIC V3 for being able to deliver results in seconds and provide such a clear image that I can even interpret panels manually with no problem. It takes up very little bench space and requires little to no maintenance, which I really appreciate. Overall, it's a fantastic automated reading system that I would highly recommend to anyone!"

"Same day set-up and testing with BIOMIC V3"

"Our lab has benefited tremendously from BIOMIC V3's consistency and speed of reading Kirby Bauers and Remel RapID panels. We were able to setup and begin testing the same day the system arrived in the lab! Since implementing BIOMIC V3, the reading and interpretation labor time has decreased significantly. Having the CLSI animal health guidelines built-in to the software is also a time-saving feature for our veterinary lab."

"Outstanding tech support for our animal health bacteriology lab"

 

"Their tech support is outstanding! I'm not the greatest with computers but I've found BIOMIC V3 very easy to use and understand. It has also dramatically reduced time with reading and interpreting sensitivities and ID panels. BIOMIC V3 has automated our API NE, Crystal Enteric/NF and Crystal Gram Positive panels. I also like the enhancement feature for organisms where the zones are hard to read - with the push of a button, the zones become much easier to see."

"Kirby-Bauer and Crystal ID panel automation for our vet lab"

"BIOMIC V3 has automated the reading of our Kirby-Bauer plates and Crystal ID Panels saving valuable tech time and helping to eliminate possible clerical errors. The BIOMIC software has incorporated CLSI guidelines which are necessary when interpreting and reporting results. The epidemiology reports are a valuable tool in monitoring drug resistance. The Giles support team and reliability of the system have exceeded our expectations."

"Standardized Disk Diffusion Plate Reading and CLSI Interpretation"

"BIOMIC V3 is used by our laboratory primarily for the reading of disk diffusion susceptibility plates. From day one, the system was adopted by all technologists for its ease of use and for the standardization of results. BIOMIC V3 significantly reduces time needed for plate reading and interpretation of results. The result interpretation is based on CLSI standards which are regularly updated by website download ensuring that only the most accurate results are released. Giles Scientific also has amazing customer service support which is quick to respond to any inquiries and seek the input from their customers in order to continuously improve the system."
