SIRscan LYNX is the latest, compact version of i2a's antimicrobial susceptibility testing system.

Its main components are (a slide-in drawer housing) a high-resolution colour camera and the SIRxpert software. This semi-automated lightweight differs from the fully automated SIRscan ORION only in that the incubated AST plates must be loaded manually. Thanks to the proven SIRxpert software, SIRscan LYNX is a powerful, space-saving tool for the microbiology laboratory.

SIRxpert is software and expert system in one. Automated expertise is provided by interpreting raw AST results and data from connected identification systems (e.g. MALDI-TOF) according to the generally accepted standards for antimicrobial susceptibility testing, such as EUCAST or CLSI. In addition, the open software lets you design and annotate your results and reports to suit your needs.

Other key features:

Automatic storage of all images: queries and re-checks possible at any time
Reads inhibition zones on all types of agar plates: flexibility in culture media
Bidirectional connection to the laboratory information system (LIS): simple test ordering and complete, permanent documentation
Automatic transmission of expert-validated results: optimal therapy management in the shortest possible time
Open system that also receives results from other bacteriology instruments (optional): perfect organisation of the microbiology laboratory
Accredited process: every step is logged: seamless quality control guaranteed at all times!
Traceability of SIRscan discs: dose, lot and expiry date: quality control to the highest standard
