The FDA has cleared PhAST Corp’s PhAST BC GN Panel, an automated phenotypic AST system that delivers antimicrobial susceptibility results from positive blood cultures in as little as 99 minutes.
This method of fluorescence microscopy for cell observation circumvents fundamental problems: light-induced destruction and unceasing molecule movement.
Capable of processing more than 200 culture plates at a time, the instrument responds to the growing demand of busy microbiology laboratories and the fast-growing automated pathology market.
