Autoturb3  Microbiological Assay System

The Autoturb3 System is designed to analyze the potency of antibiotics, vitamins and related substances.  This system can be used to assay virtually all known antibiotics.  The Autoturb3 can also assay many vitamins, including the following:  B12, Folic Acid, Niacinamide, Pyridoxine (B6), Pantothenic Acid and Panthenol.  The complete system consists of 2 modules:

Reader and Diluter Module:  Automatically prepares the required dilution of the sample and the standard reference substance with an inoculated liquid growth medium.

Spectrophotometer displaying a digital indication of turbidity of the killed suspension in each sample.

Incubation Module:  This unit operates at the exact temperature to enhance growth of the test micro-organisms.

• Accuracy:  Clinical trials have demonstrated precision to we within 2-3%.  Speed and repeatability significantly exceeds that achieved by most proven manual methods currently in use.
• Space Saving:  The Autoturb3 System is a compact, self-contained assay center requiring minimal laboratory space.
• User Friendly:  Test status and error messages are communicated to the operator promptly.
• Data Display:  Transmittance or absorbance data is indicated on the Spectrophotometer digital display with a hard copy print-out of the assay results.
• Data Validation:  Results reliability easily confirmed by a blue dye test.
• Data Output:  An RS232-C serial port is provided to allow transfer of results data to a host computer or database.
• Low Maintenance:   The micro-processor controlled circuitry and solid state sensor technology, combined with the built-in self diagnostic routine, minimizes machine down-time and maintenance costs.
