The BD Phoenix™ M50 system instrument offers identification-only panels and combination ID/AST panels, using 51 wells for identification substrates
The system can provide rapid identification of most clinically significant Gram-negative and Gram- positive bacteria, as well as yeast
The BD Phoenix™ M50 instrument determines growth using both an oxidation-reduction indicator and turbidity growth detection to help provide both rapid and accurate susceptibility results
The BD Phoenix™ M50 instrument employs a delayed growth algorithm that may defer reporting for slow-growing organisms until additional instrument readings are collected
ID is based on 45 chromogenic and fluorogenic substrates
True minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) testing: serial double dilutions for each antimicrobial
All reported antimicrobial concentrations are included in the panel, without skipping any dilution
Results are enhanced by specific delayed resistance algorithms
