System Overview
Efficient Septicemia Diagnosis with BACT/ALERT® 3D Automated Microbial Detection Systems
The BACT/ALERT® 3D family of products brings you automated microbial detection systems with advantages in every dimension of blood culture testing from safety and design to recovery and accuracy. The systems provide optimal environments for the recovery of a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and mycobacteria. BACT/ALERT® 3D offers all of this in a single innovative platform that is compact, modular, and flexible.
As labs face the challenges of higher volumes, demand for reduced turnaround and the need to use staff resources effectively, it is critical that workflow is scalable, efficient, and smart. BACT/ALERT® 3D instrument’s workflow helps you meet all those challenges with its easy-to-use and intuitive handling, while also reducing the risk of errors.
Scalability
- Adaptable to your routine blood culture needs
- Expandable design enables extra testing capacity and saves space
- Same footprint as other small platforms with 2-3 times the bottle capacity
- Designed to fit any laboratory layout
Efficiency
- Only 2 bottle types to manage for both blood and sterile body fluids
- Easy handling for less training and labor needs
- Easy-to-use touchscreen interface and simple workflow procedure
- Detect a wide range of bacteria and yeast
- Low user maintenance and bioMérieux support and training
Real Time Detection
- Colorimetric change at the bottom of bottles allows for earlier detection and immediate action
- Positive bottle alerts for immediate intervention
- Comprehensive Blood Culture process and contamination monitoring with remote alarm capability
- Full connectivity with MAESTRIATM software including remote notification and easy-to-generate customizable reports
Blood Culture Media
The BACT/ALERT® 3D system uses media specifically designed for blood, sterile body fluids and platelets, as well as specialized media for detection of mycobacteria. Unique colorimetric technology that visibly changes the color at the bottom of each culture bottle outshines other technology by reducing false negatives due to delayed bottle entry. Triple-layer bottle design ensures an appropriate environment for reliable recovery of microorganisms.
- Safety and efficiency are ensured with plastic blood culture bottles, pioneered by bioMérieux
- Shatter-resistant bottles reduce biohazard exposure risk
- Light-weight bottles offer cost-effective shipping and disposal - without compromising results
