Summary

Description
English: edit
Panel for the MicroScan WalkAway microbial multitarget assay system, with machine in background. Bacteria isolated from a previously grown colony are distributed into each well, each of which contains growth medium as well as a the ingredients for a biochemical test, which will change the absorbance of the well depending on the bacterial property for the tested target. The panel will be incubated in a machine, which subsequently performs turbidimetry by sending light into each well, and interprets each one based on how much light was absorbed. The top wells are for Gram negative bacteria, and the bottom are for Gram positive bacteria. For interpretation, one of the two sides must be picked. The combined results will be automatically compared to a database of known results for various bacterial species, in order to generate a diagnosis of what bacterial species is present in the current panel. Simultaneously, it performs antibiotic susceptibility testing.
