Diagnostics solutions & Healthcare Challenges

Bacteria, yeast and mycobacteria, whether clinically common or rare, can cause serious harm when not identified and treated quickly. Increasingly prevalent conditions, such as sepsis or multi-drug resistant (MDR) microorganism infections, pose a serious threat to hospitals and wider public health, requiring rapid, automated microbial identification and resistance testing solutions for the entire clinical workflow.

Food & Beverage Microbiology

Accurate microbiological testing technology is vital for the detection of foodborne pathogens, possible food spoilage organisms and technological strains. Rapid identification and confirmation methods enable food and beverage manufacturers to make fast quality and safety decisions.

Pharmaceutical Microbiology

Pharmaceutical microbiologists are responsible for ensuring that the supply of life-saving drugs and vaccines are free from microorganism contamination. By maintaining product safety and quality with reliable microbial testing, the downtime of production and delay in deliveries can be minimized, while ensuring regulatory compliance. Pharmaceutical companies require microbial identification not only for production line control, but also for sterile products such as vaccines.
