Oxoid will be attending the 13th European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) which will be held in Glasgow from 10 to 13 May 2003.
The Oxoid team will be on hand at stand 127 to demonstrate the latest additions to the Oxoid range and discuss the use of these products in the clinical laboratory.
The DuPont Qualicon RiboPrinter microbial characterisation system will be on show.
The RiboPrinter provides an automated genetic fingerprint (RiboPrint pattern) of any bacterium in less than eight hours and enables similarities and subtle differences between bacteria to be detected to aid in epidemiological studies.
The system allows users to share data electronically, enabling them to take full advantage of the inherent reproducibility of RiboPrint pattern data.
Oxoid is the exclusive distributor for the DuPont Qualicon range in Europe and Australia.
Oxoid's aura image will also be available for demonstration on the stand.
Aura image is a powerful tool for antimicrobial susceptibility testing, incorporating an innovative image analysis system for accurate, automatic zone size measurement, plate barcode reader, automatic disc recognition, interpretative database and epidemiology package.
Visitors will be able to try out the Oxoid website to see for themselves the wealth of information that can be obtained.
Completion of a short survey will also give visitors the chance to win a digital camera to be given away by Oxoid at the event.
