MICRONAUT VET System is based on the broth microdilution (BMD) procedure, the reference for AST, and provides species-specific true MIC values for a broad spectrum of veterinary-specific antibiotics. It complies with latest CLSI VET standards (VET08).

The MICRONAUT VET System offers a choice of five different panel configurations, to meet the requirement for bacteria isolated from companion animals, livestock animals, swine, horses as well as bovine mastitis. Standardized photometric reading of plates as well as up to date software-based interpretation of AST results are increasing the laboratory efficiency.

​The long shelf-life (24 months from date of manufacturing) as well as convenient storage at room temperature are simplifying logistics and keeping costs under control.
