MicroScan Conventional Panels

Antimicrobial resistance detection to combat MDROs

As the foundation of MicroScan ID/AST products, conventional panels deliver gold-standard1 accuracy with the fewest clinically significant reporting limitations of leading automated systems. This reduces the need for repeat testing, providing timely results without reliance on historical data.

To determine which MicroScan panels best fit your needs, use our easy-to-navigate MicroScan Panel Guide. Simply choose the antibiotics that define your formulary, and our tool will produce the options that best fit your criteria.

Direct MIC Testing to Support Your Laboratory’s Antimicrobial Stewardship

The MicroScan portfolio of ID/AST panels supports unique institutional and geographic needs with a broad menu of antibiotic configurations and choice of inoculum preparation methods. With continued emergence of antimicrobial resistance, our direct MIC testing methodology provides confidence for detecting subtle changes in susceptibility results.

  • Support a variety of formulary needs with current antimicrobials and dilutions 
  • Test both ID and AST in a single combo panel to optimize workflow
  • Select MIC-only panel formats to complement MALDI-TOF ID* testing protocols
  • Use ID-only panels for targeted testing needs
  • Use either Prompt† or turbidity inoculation method for workflow flexibility
  • Rely on visual confirmation of biochemical and susceptibility results for added confidence in unusual results
  • Get integrated ESβL confirmation on most Gram-negative panels
     

Combat MDROs with Three New MicroScan Panels

The emergence and spread of MDROs, including carbapenemase-producing carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CP-CRE), are a significant clinical and public health concern. MicroScan continues to offer clinically relevant antibiotics and dilutions, including the introduction of:

  • Meropenem/vaborbactam, ceftolozane/tazobactam, and ceftazidime/avibactam, effective in the treatment of CRE
  • Eravacycline, an alternative option for drug-resistant species

Biotype Lookup Program

The Biotype Lookup Program allows you to generate biotype information supported by LabPro Information Manager and Data Management System. It accesses an expanded identification database designed to assist with the identification of organisms whose atypical biochemical tests cause their assigned frequency cutoff points to be exceeded. The program supports all current MicroScan identification databases. To begin your search, select a panel classification, identification level and identification database, then enter the biotype number to obtain the requested information.
