AGAR DILUTION* & STEERS REPLICATOR
The BIOMIC V3 Microbiology System provides automated reading, interpreting, and expert review of CLSI and EUCAST agar dilution tests. This greatly improves accuracy, speed, and standardization of testing. BIOMIC V3 is currently the only automated agar dilution plate reader available.
An enlarged plate image with automated growth spot reading (growth / no growth) is displayed with the option to adjust on-screen by the user. Test results and high resolution images are saved automatically and may be sent to your lab's LIS/LIMS.

Steers Replicator
Steers Replicator is used to inoculate agar dilution plates. Units are available in 32 and 36 well formats. Units are manufactured in the USA and made of stainless steel and aluminum.
For labs interested in performing Agar Dilution, CLSI M07 (Methods for Dilution Antimicrobial Susceptibility Tests for Bacteria That Grow Aerobically) provides detailed descriptions of the Agar Dilution procedure, preparation, QC, inoculation, incubation, etc.
