CHROMOGENIC AGAR READING

The BIOMIC V3 Microbiology System is the only universal microbiology automated reader.

BIOMIC V3 instantly reads the color and identifies the species of bacteria and yeast colonies on various commercial brands of chromogenic agar.

BIOMIC V3 improves the consistency, accuracy and reading speed compared to manual reading. This eliminates reading and transcription errors and reduces training time. Plate images and test results are saved for future review.
