CRYSTAL™ PANEL READING
The BIOMIC V3 Microbiology System provides automated reading, interpreting, and recording of Crystal™ (BD) panels. This greatly improves accuracy, speed, and standardization of testing.
An enlarged Crystal 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. Crystal QC reading and recording is also included.
BIOMIC V3 Reads: Crystal Anaerobe, Crystal Enteric/Nonfermenter, Crystal Gram-Positive, Crystal Neisseria/Haemophilus, Crystal Rapid Gram-Positive Quality Control & Inventory Management software is included with this module. Learn More > |

Customer Testimonial - Crystal™ Panel Reading
"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."

"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."
