The added bonus of this simplified handling procedureis that training is kept to a minimum.The same - Touch, Wand, Load - proceduresimplifies your daily workload The BacT/ALERT 3D expandable design enables you to add additional testing capacity as you need it.Its stackable modules can be arranged tosave space and accommodate any laboratory layout. Occupying one third of the space of othersystems, BacT/ALERT 3D is the mostcompact microbial detection systemavailable.Each individual module can be configured to perform either bloodculture, body fluid and/ormycobacteria testing.The same flexible systemdesign adapts to yourlaboratory requirements TouchWandLoad* Five day protocol.All BacT/ALERT® 3D systems share the same time-proven technology and easy-to-use design, making them the most reliable partner for your laboratory.The patented colorimetric detection system, based on sophisticated algorithms are designed to detect microorganismsearly, even with delayed entry. Each cell is equipped with a patented cell flag, ensuring instantbottle recognition and automated quality control.Continuous monitoring gives immediate notification of resultswith instant visual and audible alerts, including a remote alarmcapability. User-directed bottle loading greatly facilitates the workflow.Annual bottlevolume*Unloaded Weight : 90.7 Kg (200 lbs)Loaded Weight : 95 Kg (210 lbs)Controller Module This module enables up to 6 IncubationModules to be operated from one set ofelectronics and integrated computer hardware.Incubation ModuleFour incubation drawers of 60 cells giving a total capacity of 240 cells.
