Customer Testimonials - CLSI Guidelines
"Etest, API, KB reading and current CLSI guidelines in BIOMIC V3"
"Since 2006, BIOMIC V3 has been our primary AST-ID system for the reading of Kirby Bauers, Etests, and API panels. The yearly software updates keep us up to date with current CLSI guidelines including new drugs, breakpoints and expert rules. BIOMIC V3 allows us the flexibility to read sensitivity plates with both disks and Etests. We’ve never encountered any mechanical issues or experienced any downtime with BIOMIC V3."

"Introducing CLSI testing in our lab with BIOMIC"
"We used the BIOMIC to introduce CLSI susceptibility testing into our lab and the staff love it because of its ease of use. The QC program is excellent for recording lot numbers of antibiotic discs and susceptibility test media. We use it to check unusual or unexpected susceptibility results from the Vitek as tiny contaminants are easier to see on the BIOMIC susceptibility plate than on the Vitek purity plate."
