Introducing the ChromaZona AST and Microbial Identification System

ChromaZona is an IVD certified instrument for automated microbial ID and antibiotic susceptibility testing designed for speeding up testing in the clinical laboratory. Working to EUCAST standards, the system's sensitive CCD camera, unique three channel lighting and powerful Chromogenic ID software, microbial species on chromogenic plates can be identified in seconds. Then by accurately analysing zones around antibiotic discs and MIC strips using ChromaZona's eAST software, appropriate antibiotics to treat the infection can be determined. ChromaZona can be easily connected to a LIMS system or, if preferred, reports can be generated and stored in Excel, eliminating data transfer errors as well as providing the user with fully traceable information and reports. The stored results can be analysed at any time and used to identify and monitor incidence of bacterial resistance, helping to improve infection control. ChromaZona is suitable for use in a CFR Part 11 environment.   Features: Gives faster results in busy clinical laboratories working to EUCAST standards Automatically reads different plate types up to 150mm diameter Generates true to life full colour images using multi-array LED lighting Gives extensive report generation Can be integrated into clinical environments with full traceability Free software upgrades are provided to comply with EUCAST updates with no annual licence fee

Chromogenic ID – colour recognition module to make the analysis of chromogenic agars accurate and simple to interpret. Chromogenic ID is a new generation colour recognition module designed to make the analysis of chromogenic agars accurate and simple to interpret. Chromogenic ID, designed to work with various commercial brands, fits seamlessly alongside the ProtoCOL 3 colony counting and zone measuring software. Organisms are identified at the touch of a button with the data and image stored for a permanent electronic record.Chromogenic ID is simple and easy to use alongside all of ProtoCOL 3's powerful features for a completely automated solution to identification of target organisms on chromogenic media. Chromogenic ID ensures all plates are read in a consistent manner with no user interpretation, resulting in increased accuracy. The electronic record and data is stored in a secure SQL database, meaning the software is fully compliant with CFR 21 and makes the instrument suitable for use in a GLP/GMP environment.Key features: Ease of use All inclusive package Extensive report generation Traceability

Measuring antibiotic susceptibility testing easily and rapidly.
