The Power of Colorimetric Technology

Results are the most important aspect of any microbial detection system. Built on bioMérieux's patented colorimetric technology, the BacT/ALERT 3D demonstrates excellent recovery of a wide range of organisms typically found in apheresis platelets. BacT/ALERT Culture Media offer the ability to detect anaerobic and aerobic microorganisms. Constant sample monitoring alerts the user immediately.

BacT/Alert 3D's patented colorimetric sensor-and-detection technology detects microorganism growth by tracking CO₂ production. Notification of positives is immediate and results are dependable.

Here's how it works:

1.

Microorganisms multiply in the media, generating CO₂. As CO₂ increases, the sensor in the bottle turns yellow.

2.

Measuring reflected light, the BacT/ALERT 3D monitors and detects color changes in the sensor.

3.

Algorithms analyze the data to determine positivity, and the laboratory is notified immediately with visual and audible alarms.
