Count on bioMérieux to provide your laboratory with the most up to date and complete AMS solution to fight resistance and help sustain antibiotics for future generations.

VITEK® MS PRIME further strengthens your capacity to support AMS. By reporting ID results even faster, you help drive informed clinical decisions that optimize antibiotic patient therapy earlier.

VITEK® PICKME™

Just 4 steps for simple, standardized sample prep

Make sample preparation for VITEK® MS easier, streamlined and more standardized with the new VITEK® PICKME™.

 

Designed by microbiology experts, VITEK® PICKME™ looks like a pen and is just as easy to use. Its disposable nib lets you easily pick up a colony just by contact and then smear a thin layer onto the VITEK® MS-DS target slide spot. The nib is then hygienically ejected directly into an appropriate waste container.

  • Significant time savings for sample spot preparation
  • Reduced variability among users
  • “Mucoid” and “dry” colonies considerably easier to deposit (vs. loops)
  • Improved homogeneity and thinner deposit, even for very mucoid colonies
