Rapid AST in practice: a workflow analysis of the QuickMIC rapid AST system at multiple clinical laboratories in Europe

This whitepaper examines the real-world implementation of the QuickMIC^® rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) system across 12 clinical laboratories in five European countries. Discover how the microfluidic platform delivered actionable AST results directly from positive blood cultures within 2 to 4 hours while demonstrating strong agreement with routine laboratory methods. Explore how rapid AST reduced turnaround times by 17 to 45 hours, enabled same-shift reporting for 88% of samples and supported earlier optimization of antimicrobial therapy, helping improve sepsis management and antimicrobial stewardship outcomes.
