Accelerate Diagnostics announces both the release of an upgrade to the Accelerate Pheno system, as well as the upcoming launch of a new Accelerate PhenoTest BC Kit configuration. Laboratories of all types and sizes will be able to utilize these systems to obtain fast antimicrobial susceptibilities (in approximately 7 hours) for positive blood cultures—either with or without identification—providing flexibility for those that already have a rapid infectious disease (ID) solution. Both configurations have the same broad gram-positive and gram-negative menus, and an extensive body of outcomes evidence is available online.
