Identification of nearly 3,000 species of bacteria, yeast and fungi on one microplate

single-microplate system for laboratories with low sample flow

Biolog ID Station is a compact semi-automatic system for a microbiology laboratory that needs reliable phenotypic identification on a single microplate without switching to high-performance Odin automation.

After inoculation and incubation, the microplate is placed in ID Station: the device reads the formed metabolic profile and transmits data to Odin Software for comparison with the Biolog identification database. The system works with GEN III panels for aerobic bacteria, AN for anaerobes, YT for yeast and FF for mycelial fungi; the database covers about 3,000 species. For individual bacteria, the manufacturer specifies the identification of the bacteria approximately 1 hour after preparation and incubation according to the appropriate protocol.

ID Station is designed for one microplate and performs final two-wave photometric reading by optical density. Dimensions - 31.8 × 30.5 × 19.6 cm, weight less than 6.8 kg, power 100-240 V, 50-60 Hz, operating temperature 18-28 °C; data output is provided for an external 22-inch LCD monitor. Unlike Odin, the system does not incubate. The microplates do not perform kinetic phenotyping or community analysis.
