Conventional microbial identification methods, including biochemical tests, immunological tests, and molecular biology tests, requires a long time and high costs to identify microbes.
MicroIDSys® diagnosis method
· It takes less than 5 minutes to generate the identification result per sample, and up to 384 samples can be analyzed simultaneously.
· It features high sensitivity and thus can analyze even with a small number of bacterial colonies, and the sample preparation and analysis processes are simple.
· The database-based identification method offers scalability and utilization to increase the number of identifiable microbes indefinitely.
