The Accelerate PhenoTest™ BC kit is the first application of the Accelerate Pheno™ system. It provides with less 5 minutes operator hands-on time within 1.5 hour the identification of the most prevalent micro-organisms seen in blood stream infections. Within 7 hours from sample loading it provides antimicrobial susceptibility testing with minimum inhibitory concentrations for a range of applicable antibiotics. Recent market studies suggest the solution offers results 1-2 days faster than conventional methods, enabling clinicians to optimize antibiotic selection, dosage, and infusion strategy specific to the individual patient and their infection.
