QuickMIC Instrument
The QuickMIC instrument can analyse one positive blood culture sample per run, providing precise MIC values in 2–4 hours. The system’s unique technology utilises microfluidics and live imaging to monitor bacterial growth across a linear antibiotic gradient. The small, modular instruments can be stacked to increase testing capacity and save valuable bench space.
QuickMIC Cassette
The QuickMIC cassettes are pre-filled with a panel containing 12 antibiotics, tailored for common sepsis-causing bacteria.
QuickMIC GN panel
The gram-negative panel is tailored for the following bacteria: E. coli, Klebsiella spp., P. aeruginosa, E. cloacae, A. baumannii, Proteus spp., Citrobacter spp. and S. marcescens.
QuickMIC Analyst
The QuickMIC Analyst software analyses the growth patterns of each microcolony along the linear antibiotic gradient to determine precise MIC values.
- The linear gradients offer high precision and reproducibility compared with traditional AST methods.
- Each chamber forms an independent continuous gradient, which can be monitored in real time during the run.
- QuickMIC Analyst supports up to 12 instruments at once.
QuickMIC Workflow
Simply load the cassette with the growth medium and with your gel-embedded sample. Insert it into an available instrument, click “Start Run” and you’re all set.
