The BD BACTEC™ MGIT™ automated mycobacterial detection system is a fully automated solution for mycobacterial liquid culture and susceptibility testing. Holds 320 tubes for an annual capacity of apporximately 2700 specimens per year.

·         The system was designed with simplicity in mind, helping maximize productivity with minimal staffing and training.

·         The system automatically directs tube placement and indicates positives with both a visual and an audible signal as they occur.

·         The system uses BD BBL™ MGIT media and patented sensors, which efficiently leverage advanced fluorometric technology to facilitate highly accurate detection of O2 consumption without sharps.

·         Identifies positives as they occur – often at a faster rate than other instrumented systems. Faster results can improve patient care and lower health care costs by reducing hospital stays and optimizing equipment and staff utilization.

·         The system continuously performs automated quality control to ensure precise and reliable operation, and provides results as positive/negative and numerical growth units.

·         The system lets you simply scan and load the plastic sample tubes, and then walk away.

·         The system identifies positives as they occur, speeding results to improve patient care, reduce hospital stays and optimize equipment and staff utilization.
