The Sensititre® OptiRead™ is intended for use with the Sensititre® MIC or BP Susceptibility Test System. The Sensititre® OptiRead™ is a fluorescence based detection instrument used to read Sensititre® MIC or BP Susceptibility plates for non-fastidious and fastidious Gram positive cocci and non fastidious Gram negative organisms, through the use of dedicated Sensititre® SWIN software. MIC and BP Susceptibility plates can either be read manually or automatically on the Sensititre OptiRead™, Autoreader® or the ARIS® in combination with theAutoreader® or OptiRead™.
An electrically-powered automated or semi-automated laboratory instrument intended to be used for the identification of bacteria and/or yeast isolated from clinical specimens and for the determination of their antimicrobial susceptibility profile using morphology, substrate utilization and/or biochemical reactivity and by monitoring growth rates and/or determining endpoint growth, against a range of antimicrobials. Growth detection technology used may include immunoassay, colorimetry, fluorimetry, chromatography and/or carbon dioxide production.
