Automated Microbial Identification and Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing (ID/AST) System
The Autobio AutoMic AST i600 is an advanced automated system designed for rapid microbial identification (ID) and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) based on the broth microdilution reference method.
Combining turbidimetric and colorimetric detection with a comprehensive expert software platform, the i600 provides accurate, reliable, and real-time antimicrobial resistance profiling for clinical microbiology laboratories.
The system supports automated sample pipetting, incubation, and detection for true minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination—helping clinicians make faster, evidence-based therapeutic decisions.
Key Features
