For rapid identification of bacteria, yeast, anaerobes, and filamentous fungi. The ID Station™ System has the capacity to read all Biolog ID MicroPlates configurations as a single plate reader. It's powered by Odin™ software, allowing for convenient exporting, saving, and printing of data. (This instrument does not control temperature for incubating plates).
This system includes a computer with one software license and all Biolog identification databases, turbidimeter with a set of turbidity standards, installation, end user training, and a one year warranty. Pipettor and printer are sold separately.
The new ID Station™ System replaces the previous MicroStation™ System, and it is a versatile system with the ability to identify and characterize a wide range of environmental and pathogenic organisms across diverse fields of microbiology. Using all Biolog databases, rapidly identify nearly 3,000 species of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, yeast and filamentous fungi. Just prepare a cell suspension and inoculate the appropriate MicroPlate.
After inoculation and incubation, the MicroPlate is placed into the ID Station Reader for analysis. A unique metabolic pattern generated by the organism is recorded and compared to hundreds of identification profiles in a corresponding Biolog Database. The versatile plate reader takes optical density readings at two wavelengths to quantify color reactions in the MicroPlate wells, adding consistency and accuracy when reading the reaction patterns.
Biolog’s patented redox chemistry makes use of different carbon compounds including sugars, carboxylic acids, amino acids, and peptides to provide an unparalleled wealth of discriminating biochemical characterizations. This diverse set of tests enables our systems to identify microorganisms that other methods misidentify or fail to identify. Gram stain and other pre-tests are no longer needed. A simple one-minute setup protocol and your samples are ready to be analyzed. Biolog's extensive database is designed to meet the needs of a wide range of customers across various disciplines of microbiology.
