Description

The IBC-40 Automated Blood Culture System is a fully automated solution for the rapid qualitative in vitro culture and detection of bacteria and fungi in human blood and body fluids. It offers clinical laboratories high accuracy, flexibility, and workflow efficiency, so even smaller laboratories can perform blood culture automatically.

Specifications

• Capacity: 40 culture bottles
• Equipped with built-in computer and touch screen
• Barcode scanning input
• Colorimetric technology
• Designed to detect microbial growth from blood specimens or sterile body fluids
• Automated continuous monitoring every 10 minutes for each bottle by an independent detection sensor
• Real-time display of incubation temperature and reaction chart
• Flexible and quick historical data query and statistics functions
• Continuous automated self-calibration and self-diagnostics
