API PANEL READING

BIOMIC V3 Microbiology System, API bioMerieux panel reader

The BIOMIC V3 Microbiology System provides automated reading, interpreting, and recording for all varieties of API (bioMerieux) panels. This greatly improves accuracy, speed, and standardization of testing.

An enlarged API panel image is instantly displayed on-screen with +/- well readings and automatic organism identification look-up. Readings may be adjusted by the user. Test results and high resolution images are saved automatically and can be printed or sent via LIS/LIMS. API QC reading and recording is also included.

BIOMIC V3 Reads: API 20E, API 20NE, API Staph, API 20 Strep, API Coryne, API 20C (Yeast), rapid 20E, rapid 32E, rapid ID 32A (Anaerobes), ID 32 Staph, rapid ID 32 Strep, ID 32C (Yeast)

Customer Testimonials - API Panel Reading

"Confident and instant API reading with BIOMIC V3"

"BIOMIC V3 provides our lab with excellent QC functions, confident API readings, and custom vet drug panels for antibiotic susceptibility testing. After a quick installation, I felt very comfortable working with its software and would strongly recommend BIOMIC V3 to other micro labs."

"BIOMIC V3: Accurate API, RapID, and Crystal reading"

"We use BIOMIC V3 to read Remel RapID ANA, RapID NH, BD Enteric/NF Crystal and Yeast API 20C identification systems. It works well in our lab as all technologists rotate through the Microbiology Department and this standardizes the reading of the identification systems. The techs love it as it makes reading of these systems so much easier. I like the fact that it maintains the pictures of the systems so you can always go back to see what the reactions were. It is also a great way to capture quality control testing."

“API 20E Reading with BIOMIC V3”

We use BIOMIC V3 primarily on our busy HAI/ARLN bench. It is so simple to use, and the images are crystal clear. We use the instrument for reading our API 20E test strips and our Disk Diffusion by Kirby Bauer plates. The ability of the instrument to store and print out all the lot numbers and expiration dates for the vast about of antibiotics has been such a time saver. The speed which you can read and record both API 20E test strips and KB plates is a true time saver and helps prevent errors. We especially love how the manufacturer keeps up with the latest CLSI updates.
