Based on broth microdilution, these automated systems help your veterinary lab to perform same day susceptibility tests, increasing your lab productivity.

Our systems come with a wide offer of the most relevant susceptibility tests for veterinary diagnostics

  • Gram-negative
  • Gram-positive
  • Yeast…

Benefits of the VITEK® 2 technology for your lab

  • High performance
    • Combination of pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) parameters with MIC results
    • Low level detection and new resistance mechanism (AmpC, ESBL, MBL, etc…)
    • 64-well bar-coded cards with advanced colorimetric substrates provide higher accuracy
  • Flexibility
  • Capacity to test unusual organism/drug combinations and still provide AST results when susceptibility break points change
  • Faster decision-making
  • Rapid results
