The Previ Isola automated specimen and agar plate management system from Biomerieux offer clinical laboratories flexibility for routine processing of samples.
The system features streaking technology, which maximises colony isolation through pressure controlled contact with the agar surface during inoculation, and uses the same quantity of inoculate every time to standardise results.
The Previ Isola can process different sample and container types at a rate of up to 180 plates per hour, saving time and increasing throughput and integrating easily into the laboratory's workflow.
The system also assists with clinical pathology accreditation by eliminating cross-contamination between samples, and provides traceability through automated barcode labelling.
The Previ Isola is particularly suited to high-throughput applications where negative results are prevalent, such as MRSA or urine specimen screening.
