Accelerate Diagnostics PhenoTest BC Kit

Accelerate Diagnostics has launched a new configuration of its Accelerate PhenoTest BC kit in the US that provides antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) results in approximately seven hours from positive blood cultures. The new option runs on the Accelerate Pheno system as a solution for laboratories that already have a rapid identification system. The firm's US Food and Drug Administration-cleared Accelerate PhenoTest BC kit is an integrated product for labs needing both fast identification and fast AST.
