BD Phoenix™ M50 Automated ID/AST Solution

The BD Phoenix™ M50 Instrument is an automated microbiology system designed for organism identification (ID) and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST). It provides rapid, accurate results to help clinicians make informed treatment decisions while supporting laboratory efficiency, scalability, and antimicrobial stewardship initiatives.

[Available in Republic Of Ireland and Northern Ireland]

Description

Features

Automated organism identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (ID/AST)
Dual growth detection technology using both oxidation-reduction indicators and turbidity measurements
True doubling dilutions for accurate minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determination
Built-in detection of key resistance mechanisms, including MRSA, VRE, ESBL, CPO, mecA, and others
Delayed growth algorithm to improve accuracy for slow-growing organisms
Compact, stackable design that can double testing capacity within the same footprint
Integration with the BD EpiCenter™ data management system for reporting, antibiograms, and workflow management
Minimal maintenance requirements with room-temperature panel storage and no reagent additions after inoculation
Supports rapid identification of clinically significant Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, as well as yeast
