reducing reporting times from days to mere hours
Conventional methods used in microbiology cannot improve reporting times beyond “days”, and thus an innovative approach to bacteria culture and detection is needed. mSpectrum (Microbial Spectrum) is a new technology developed by combining two world recognised methods that are being used today on a daily basis: chromogenic culture media in microbiology laboratories and spectrophotometry in biochemistry laboratories.
The objective of this new technology is to reduce conventional microbiology reporting times from the current 2 to 7 days to 4 to 6 hours. The potential applications of this technology are very diverse, from monitoring contamination in food and environments, to medical microbiology with multi-drug resistant bacteria that require rapid reporting.
