Microbial Identification Instrument

The microbial identification instrument is an instrument that automatically identifies clinical microbial specimens through an automatic microbial identification system. It consists of a microbial identification instrument host, a computer, a printer, and a communication cable. It can automatically identify the strain name and strain number on the microbial identification reaction plate by scanning the barcode and issue an identification report.
There are three main types of microbial identification instruments:
* **Classification based on identification principle. **It can be divided into biochemical identification instrument and microscope identification instrument. The former identifies microorganisms based on the physiological and biochemical reactions of microorganisms, such as VITEK identification instrument, etc.; the latter identifies microorganisms based on the microscopic morphology, structure, ultrastructure, etc. of microorganisms, such as scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, etc.
* **Classified according to the scope of use. **It can be divided into medical identification instruments, veterinary identification instruments, environmental identification instruments, food identification instruments and other types, such as VITEK2Compact, MicroScanAuto-ScanX, etc.
* **Classified according to the degree of automation. **It can be divided into semi-automatic microbial identification instrument and fully automatic microbial identification instrument.
