The perfect balance for direct bacterial detection in blood platelets.
Overview
The Bacterial Contamination Test quickly detects bacteria of concern in either apheresis or whole blood-derived platelets. Preliminary results indicate an assay sensitivity of approximately 103–104 CFU/mL.
To ensure that results are interpreted objectively and with optimum accuracy, the Bacterial Contamination Test includes a high sensitivity reader that automatically logs test results in a computerized database. Data integrates seamlessly with existing networks so that it may be sorted, exported, and printed with ease.
The Bacterial Contamination Test is being designed to meet all of the critical blood banking requirements:
- Rapid—Results obtained in approximately 20 minutes
- Sensitive—Sensitivity in the range of 103–104 CFU/mL
- Ease of Use—Minimal training and attended labor
- Objective Results—Reader maximizes sensitivity and objectivity
- Automated Data Collection—software automatically logs test data
- Cost Effective
