bioMerieux -- BacT/ALERT 3D Technology

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 with >95% recovery within 24 hours and >98% within 72 hours. BacT/ALERT Culture Media offer the ability to detect aerobic microorganisms and high-acid-producing organisms, such as lactobacillus, yeasts and molds.

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.
4.	Changes in the sensor are permanent and visible to the unaided eye, unlike any other method.
