Don’t wait for the plate™ with the Avails Medical sensor technology
INTRODUCING eQUANT™
Avails eQUANT™ system delivers an automated 0.5 McFarland in about one hour from a positive blood culture (PBC) for a same day AST
IMPROVING EFFICIENCY
Eliminates the need for sub-cultures
Accelerates current AST workflow by >18hrs
Highly reproducible & scalable
Can be used in combination with any existing AST system
AVAILS TECHNOLOGY
Real-time measurement allows for rapid predictions
Metabolic analysis of any living pathogens directly in the presence of blood
Allows standardization with the new CLSI protocol for direct disk diffusion
What if you could ACCELERATE your AST results by a FULL DAY?
Avails’ eQUANT™ system delivers your organism specific 0.5 McFarland directly from a positive blood culture (PBC) in an average of one hour, enabling initiation of any antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) within hours of blood culture positivity.
eQUANT™ replaces 4 manual steps with one automated step in as fast as 40min*
*Under Development. CAUTION – Investigational device. Limited by Federal law to investigational use.
A POWERFUL ASSAY
eQUANT™ is based on a compact single module instrument which holds a cuvette integrated with an electrical sensor and is inoculated with a diluted sample of positive blood culture. Changes in metabolic byproducts of micro-organisms are then monitored in real-time, providing precise organism specific 0.5 McFarland suspensions compatible with conventional AST methods including disk diffusion.
- Minimal hands-on time
- Works with conventional and non-rapid AST methods
A COMPACT INSTRUMENT
eQUANT™ is being developed to preserve precious bench top real estate in the clinical laboratory, allowing the use of single or multiple units for handling all positive blood cultures in small or large microbiology labs. eQuant’s unique features include:
- Compact size easily expandable to multiple units
- Fully automated, walkaway system
- Simple cartridge loading
- User-friendly
Future workflow will be streamlined even more dramatically by Avails eAST
eAST combines eQUANT™ with AST to provide rapid, phenotypic AST results direct from PBC in as fast as 4 hours*
