The BIOMIC System functions with a personal computer to automate, speed read, and interpret standard antibiotic disk diffusion test plates. The video reader helps standardize endpoints, speeds quantitative measurements by 40 to 90%, and reduces fatigue and transcription and interpretation errors.
The BIOMIC system and automates the reading of the classical disk agar diffusion test to provide both qualitative (susceptibility interpretation) and quantitative (MIC) data. The BIOMIC system utilizes technology which is more efficient and yields results comparable to those of established automated MIC methods.
