Tecan and Merlin have together developed an automated antimicrobial susceptibility system capable of processing large numbers of samples with minimal hands-on time
The sample preparation step not only provides inoculum for the antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST) but also prepares the Maldi-tof target plate.
Antimicrobial susceptibility testing) results and identification (ID) results are brought together in the Merlin software package where the integrated expert system checks plausibility and appropriate results for clinical guidance.
