Thermo Fisher Scientific presents the Sensititre ARIS HiQ AST System, a benchtop automated reading and incubation system for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). The system provides microbiology laboratories with accurate minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) results to support the selection of an effective antibiotic for critically ill patients. The system is designed for laboratories that routinely retest invalid AST results or that require additional confirmatory testing prior to releasing results to clinicians. The phenotypically driven MIC values deliver results while minimizing retests and can support a reduction in hidden costs associated with reporting delays. In addition to an up-to-date selection of antimicrobials, laboratories can create their own custom AST plates from over 300 antimicrobials in broad dilution ranges to consolidate and reduce offline testing.
