An advanced systems for microbiological testing
At Devi Clinical Laboratory, we are committed to delivering precise and reliable diagnostic services with the latest advancements in medical technology. One of our most advanced systems for microbiological testing is the VITEK® 2 Compact, a fully automated microbial identification system from bioMérieux, France. This cutting-edge technology ensures rapid, accurate, and comprehensive microbial identification, enhancing the efficiency and quality of our microbiology services.

What is the VITEK® 2 Compact?
The VITEK® 2 Compact is an advanced, fully automated microbial identification and susceptibility testing system designed to provide fast and highly accurate results. This system is widely recognized in clinical laboratories worldwide for its ability to rapidly identify bacterial and fungal infections and determine their antibiotic susceptibility. It plays a crucial role in infection diagnosis, antimicrobial stewardship, and patient care management.
Why Choose VITEK® 2 Compact for Microbial Testing?
1. Fully Automated Process
The VITEK® 2 Compact eliminates manual interventions, reducing human error and ensuring consistent, high-quality results. Once a sample is introduced, the system automatically performs the necessary steps for identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST).
2. Rapid and Precise Identification
Unlike conventional culture-based methods, which can take 24-48 hours, the VITEK® 2 Compact delivers results in just a few hours. This speed is crucial in diagnosing infections promptly, leading to faster treatment decisions and better patient outcomes.
3. Extensive Microbial Database
The system is equipped with an extensive and continuously updated microbial database, allowing it to identify a vast range of bacterial and fungal species with high accuracy. It covers both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms, and yeast species.
4. Advanced Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST)
In addition to identification, the VITEK® 2 Compact provides antibiotic susceptibility profiles, helping clinicians determine the most effective treatment options. This is particularly important in managing antibiotic-resistant infections, ensuring optimal antimicrobial therapy.
5. Standardized and Reliable Results
With built-in quality control mechanisms, the system ensures standardized results, minimizing variability between tests. This leads to better reproducibility and reliability in microbiological diagnostics.
6. Time and Cost Efficiency
The automation and accuracy of the VITEK® 2 Compact reduce the need for repeat testing, saving valuable time, resources, and costs for both the laboratory and patients.
