Our products
SIDECAR®
Product category: Bacteriology testing in microbiology
SIDECAR®
Automated Streaking System Integrated with the Rapid Bacteria Culture
Real walk-away system for rapid bacterial culture and plate streaking of liquid samples.
The system is composed of two units: Alfred 60AST and Sidecar.

Sidecar streaking unit stocks 240 Petri dishes and up to 12 different media.

The streaked dishes are incubated on board at 37°C for the requested analysis time.

ADVANTAGES

Light Scattering Technology
Quantitative results expressed in CFU/ml
Automated susceptibility testing with customised antibiotic panels
Real time detection of bacterial growth curves
Automatic reagent and sample dispensing
Automatic results reading and reporting
Refrigerated area at + 4°C for the storage of primary samples, antibiotics and 0.5 McFarland positive samples
Storage area for 240 petri dishes and up to 12 different culture media
On board Incubator at 37°C for 240 petri dishes
Automated labelling system for single plate
Calibrated Loop automated sterilisation with heat before and after each streaking procedure
Different streaking procedures
Single sample management with customised analysis profile: incubation time, analytical protocol, cut-off and solid media selection
HEPA filter
LIS bidirectional interface and Query Host application

Product category: Bacteriology testing in microbiology
HB&L®
First analyser for Bacterial Culture and the Susceptibility Testing in Human Biological Fluids and Urine
HB&L is the first analyser able to perform bacterial culture, RAA test and susceptibility testing on samples such as urine, sterile or non sterile fluids and other biological samples.
Using the patented technology based on light scattering it is able to detect the presence of bacteria and their drug resistance in a few hours with high sensitivity and specificity.
HB&L monitors the growth phases of bacteria from the inoculum step into specific culture broths providing real time growth curves and quantitative bacterial count results in CFU/ml.
Broth turbidity level is detected by McFarland Monitor and, as the sample reaches the 0.5 McFarland, a visual and audible alert advises that the bacterial culture is ready to be tested for a customized antibiotic panel without awaiting the end of the analysis and avoiding further dilution steps.

The software flexibility of the HB&L allows different tests to be performed simultaneously; each reading unit position is independent from the others and can be set according to sample type, incubation time, test profile, analytical protocol and cut-off.
Two HB&L models are available, one version with 120 sample positions and a 60 position“light” version for reduced workload.

ALFRED 60AST
First Automated System for Bacterial Culture and Susceptibility Testing
Alfred 60AST is the first fully automated system able to perform bacterial culture, RAA and susceptibility testing by automating the whole process of sample inoculation, reading and result transmission.
Using the patented technology based on light scattering it is able to detect the presence of bacteria and their drug resistance in a few hours with high sensitivity and specificity.
Alfred 60AST monitors the growth phases of bacteria from the inoculum step into specific culture broths providing real time growth curves and quantitative bacterial count results in CFU/ml.
Broth turbidity level is detected by the McFarland Monitor and as the sample reaches the 0.5 McFarland it is buffered into the refrigerated area and then tested with a customized antibiotic panel.
