Antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST)

Antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) expert

Experts in the field of antibiograms (AST) since its creation in 1988, i2a has continuously focused on innovation, initially by designing the first expert software for AST reading, then the first incubator reader for antibiograms in agar media (Kirby Bauer Method), and even the only rapid medium in agar-based ATG .

i2a offers a complete range of automation, software, and reagents for performing agar-based antibiograms, from inoculation to result reporting.

Our AST solutions

Creator of the SIRscan range (readers of antibiograms in agar media), SIRxpertⓇ and SIRxpertⓇ Master (complete middleware for management and expertise in bacteriology), Inoclic (a device for standardizing inoculum), and MHR-SIR (the only medium allowing the reading of an agar-based antibiogram (Kirby Bauer Method) in 6-8 hours*), i2a’s DNA is that of innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction.

Fighting Antibiotic Resistance

**For enterobacteria and S. aureus. Reading only on SIRscan 2000 Automatic or SIRscan Orion.

Combating antibiotic resistance has been a major public health issue for several years. Offering relevant solutions is becoming crucial to limit the risks of new resistances, curb the spread of multi-resistant strains, and optimally manage patients while containing associated costs.

It is this particularly complex mission that i2a strives to address every day proposing concrete solutions.

This is why we offer laboratories a range of automation and software solutions that provide the most advanced automation while preserving user control. With the same ambitions, our reagents offer laboratories numerous advantages in terms of standardization, simplification, and minimizing result reporting time. For example, our MHR-SIR medium, provides antibiogram (Kirby Bauer Method) results in 6 to 8 hours*, while being very economically accessible.

*Note that not all germs can pass through MHR-SIR, and the reading must be done using a SIRscan 2000 Automatic or a SIRscan Orion.
