RapID Systems: better reporting, more coverage, advanced updates

Manual microbial identification is now easier than ever. With Thermo Scientific™ RapID™ Systems and ERIC™ Software, you’ll experience reduced turnaround time, visible color reactions and precise reporting for more organisms on more platforms.

Accurately identify more than 400 medically important organisms in less than four hours. RapID uses enzyme technology to reduce the time-to-results, with one-step inoculation and no oil or pipetting, providing a definitive answer to bacterial ID faster.

RapID systems are ideal for stand-alone testing or for complementing automated systems when testing for anaerobes, yeasts, Neisseria-Haemophilus, Enterobacteriaceae, staphylococci, streptococci, corynebacteria, non-fermenters, and urinary tract isolates.

SmartNote: Why manual microorganism identification is critical for all microbiology laboratories

SmartNote: Why manual microorganism identification is critical for all microbiology laboratories

Accurate and definitive microorganism identification is essential for correct disease diagnosis, treatment of infection and epidemiological analysis. Biochemical tests are among the most important methods for microbial identification, even when a microbiology laboratory is using an automated system. Learn more about the benefits of manual ID, and how it can complement automated systems with our new SmartNote.
