Determination of bacterial growth and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) in less than one hour
Patented technology based on nanofluidics principles
Fast and easy to use
Results based on EUCAST standards
Advanced diagnostics for Urinary tract infection to support treatment decisions
The PA-100 AST System is an automated urine analyser that combines phase contrast microscopy and nanofluidics to make antibiograms available at the point of care. Because only by using ground-breaking technology can we achieve the most advanced diagnostic performance.
Advanced diagnostics for the point of care
Automated and rapid analysis of urine samples with a lab-on-a-chip technology
Optimised workflow: results during the first visit of the patient to the physician
No sample pre-treatment
Fast, reliable results
AST as fast as the biological response of the cell to the antibiotic
Phenotypic AST, based on actual resistance profiles
Fight AMR
Informed antibiotic prescription decision in less than one hour
Avoid empiric treatment and reduce AMR spreading
