Used BIOMERIEUX BacT/ALERT 3D #9241161 for sale

BIOMERIEUX BacT/ALERT 3D is an automated microbiological incubator and detector equipment designed to provide rapid, reliable detection of microbial contamination of clinical or food samples. The system combines advanced optical detection, incubation, and growth monitoring technology to detect bacterial contaminants in a single device. The components of the unit are the BacT/ALERT 3D device, the BacT/ALERT TEC (Tray Environmental Control) Unit, which is used to monitor the growth environment of cultures, and the BacT/ALERT Software, used to manage and monitor the cultures and results of detection. The BacT/ALERT 3D Device is composed of several components. First, it contains a 7x7 array of photodiodes in order to detect the growth of microorganisms in the sample. It is equipped with a powerful optical block that projects light onto the sample container, which blocks and focuses the light for optimal sensitivity. At the bottom of the device is an incubation chamber, where samples are placed for growth and detection. The device also includes an integrated touchscreen computer, which allows users to monitor the machine's performance, as well as to control parameters such as temperature, CO2 levels, and other variables. The BacT/ALERT TEC Unit is used to control and monitor the environment of the culture and results. The tray has a temperature range of 20 to 45 °C, a CO2 range of 0 to 30 %, and a relative humidity range of 40 to 90%. The gas flow rate is adjustable, and a variable-width sealing tool ensures that the most accurate results are obtained by closing off the tray when desired. The TEC unit also has a tray exchanger and tray locker. The exchanger assists in the removal and replacement of trays from the incubator, while the locker holds trays firmly in place with an adjustable bracket, allowing for keyless security and control of the incubator. Finally, the BacT/ALERT Software allows for efficient monitoring and management of the cultures and data obtained. It displays data on the asset's performance and growth rate and can store up to 1,000 BacT/ALERT 3D records per sample tray session. The software is able to view, generate, and manage scan reports, and it also permits users to modify model parameters such as growth detection. In addition, the BacT/ALERT Software can be used to create custom display screens, manage and archive user results, and interface with some software applications (e.g., LIMS). Overall, BIOMERIEUX BacT/ALERT 3D equipment is a powerful tool for the rapid, reliable detection of microbial contamination. With its advanced optical, incubation, and growth monitoring technology, it provides users with an efficient, cost-effective platform for detection and control.
