OmniLog - Fully Autommatic Bacteria, Yeast and Fungi Identification Systems

Introduction

The Biolog Microbial ID System can rapidly identify over 2,500 species of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, yeasts and fungi. These easy to use systems provide reference laboratory quality identifications. Biolog Systems do this without the labor-intensive requirements of conventional strips or panels. There is a Biolog System for any size laboratory, from full and semi-automatic to manually read systems.

Biolog's latest generation redox chemistry enables testing and microbial identification of aerobic Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria in the same test panel. Gram stain and other pre-tests are no longer needed. A simple one minute setup protocol and your samples are ready to be analyzed. Our expanded GEN III database is designed to meet the needs of Biolog's broad customer base covering diverse disciplines of microbiology.

Biolog’s powerful carbon source utilization technology accurately identifies environmental and pathogenic microorganisms by producing a characteristic pattern or “metabolic fingerprint” from discrete test reactions performed within a 96 well microplate. Culture suspensions are tested with a panel of pre-selected assays, then incubated, read and compared to extensive databases of environmental organisms, human pathogens, veterinary pathogens and plant pathogens. The scope of the 96 assay reactions, coupled with sophisticated interpretation software, delivers a high level of accuracy that is comparable to molecular methods. The one minute per sample set up is much simpler and faster than DNA sequencing and the automated pattern matching eliminates the need for training and expertise in gene sequence interpretation.

The OmniLog System

The OmniLog® ID System offers a simple automated process to meet the dynamic workflow demands of a wide range of microbiology applications. Even organisms requiring special incubation temperatures or environments are easily accommodated, ensuring accurate identification for a broad spectrum of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria.

The OmniLog ID System fully automates the process of microbial identification by incubating, reading and interpreting results from up to 50 Biolog MicroPlates™ at a time. Thee system software provides directives to guide all steps of the testing process for each MicroPlate, including sample placement and removal and extended incubation when needed. Additional MicroPlates can be loaded and processed any time there is an open tray or identification has been completed on a previously entered MicroPlate. Up to date information for each MicroPlate, including results as they become available, are continuously visible on the system’s menu screen. Identifications take as little as 2 hours.

The OmniLog Plus ID System adds testing capabilities for anaerobic bacteria, yeasts, and filamentous fungi. Both OmniLog systems allow results to be saved to create a customized database or to track specific organism characteristics and frequency of isolation. The system software, which includes the RetroSpect™ software module for organism tracking and trending, is extremely easy to navigate, and provides all the required functionality to meet 21CFR part 11 electronic record requirements and regulatory compliance. Administrative features are also available to control operator access and the creation or modification of data files.
