Monitor bacterial activity with the THT uMC micro multicell calorimeter, including the detection of clinically relevant levels of staphylococcus aureus in whole blood
Heath Scientific release bacterial activity data from its new uMC, micro Multicell Calorimeter.
An assessment of the uMC's capability to detect bacterial activity was made.
This included the ability to detect clinically relevant levels of staphylococcus aureus in whole blood and discern antibiotic sensitivity.
The difference between samples with and without antibiotics is rapidly apparent within 1.5 hours of stabilisation.
Contact Heath Scientific for a copy of the full Bacterial Activity Report.
Quick and easy to use, the THT uMC allows multiple samples (up to eight) be studied simultaneously.
The uMC is a heat flow calorimeter with Peltier control for rapid equilibration.
Low volume (1.5ml or 4.0ml) disposable cells can handle solids, liquids and mixtures.
Sample quantities can range from milligrams to grams.
A variety of operation modes are possible, isothermal, step-isothermal or scanning.
