Improve Lab Efficiency with Quality Blood Culture Systems
Blood culture systems are used in microbiological laboratories to detect
microbial
growth
from
blood specimens.
Modern laboratories use microbiological systems to isolate bacteria or fungi from blood and to detect infections in blood. Blood cultures are vital in the diagnosis and treatment of etiologic agents of sepsis. Sepsis is a serious medical condition caused by bacterial infections. Hence, accurate and speedy detection and identification of blood borne bacterial pathogens using quality blood culture systems is crucial to detect microbial growth from blood specimens. Clinicians depend on blood culture testing for the diagnosis of bateremia and fungemia. Popular laboratory equipment manufacturers offer both new and recertified models of blood culture systems. These systems offer superior performance, functionality and safety.
