Global Healthcare Medical Automated Microbial ID & AST System
Global Healthcare Medical Automated Microbial ID & AST System
Model: GHM MA120 HK
The Global Healthcare Medical Automated Microbial ID & AST System is a compact, benchtop solution designed to bring automated microbial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing within reach of small and medium-sized laboratories. The system comprises a PC with specialized analysis software and a reader unit, delivering both identification and susceptibility results in a single test panel—streamlining workflow while maintaining clinical accuracy.
At the core of the system is a 120-well test panel that integrates 24 microwells for identification and 96 microwells for susceptibility testing, allowing both results to be obtained in one run. Using colorimetric and turbidimetric detection methods, the system performs true MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) analysis for antimicrobial agents, supporting informed clinical decisions on antibiotic therapy. With a compact footprint of just 400 × 390 × 440 mm and a weight of 14.5 kg, the system fits easily into any laboratory environment.
Key Features & Benefits
Integrated ID & AST in a Single Test Panel
The system's proprietary 120-well test panel combines 24 identification microwells with 96 susceptibility microwells, enabling both microbial identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing in a single run. This integrated approach:
-
Reduces workflow steps – no need for separate ID and AST panels
-
Conserves sample volume – one inoculation serves both tests
-
Accelerates time to result – both results are available from the same incubation cycle
-
Minimizes consumable costs – fewer panels and reagents required per sample
True MIC-Based Susceptibility Testing
Unlike systems that rely on breakpoint-only interpretation, this system delivers true MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) values through turbidimetric analysis. This provides:
-
Quantitative susceptibility data – precise MIC values rather than categorical interpretations alone
-
Support for CLSI/EUAST standards – test panels are grouped according to recognized guidelines
-
Semi-quantitative MIC analysis – actionable data for antibiotic selection and dosing decisions
-
Comprehensive antibiotic coverage – panels include clinically relevant antimicrobial agents
Broad Organism Coverage
The system supports identification and susceptibility testing for a wide range of clinically significant microorganisms:
| Organism Category | Coverage |
|---|---|
| Gram-negative bacteria | Common clinical pathogens including Enterobacterales and non-fermenters |
| Gram-positive bacteria | Staphylococci, Streptococci, Enterococci, and related genera |
| Fungi | Yeast-like organisms and other clinically relevant fungi |
| Fastidious organisms | Select panels available for Neisseria, Haemophilus, Corynebacterium, and Listeria |
The identification database covers up to 1,000 microbial species, supporting comprehensive laboratory testing needs.
High Accuracy with Advanced Algorithms
The system employs a comprehensive logic algorithm and patented image acquisition technology to deliver reliable results:
-
Identification accuracy rate exceeding 94.3% – validated in clinical evaluation studies
-
Discrimination speed under 15 seconds – rapid image processing and analysis
-
Colorimetric and turbidimetric detection – dual-method approach for robust performance
-
Automated sample addition and intelligent incubation – with air-mixing and precise temperature control for consistent results
Expert System for Interpretive Reading
The system includes an integrated Expert System that validates and interprets susceptibility results. Key capabilities include:
-
Automated generation of S/I/R reports – susceptible, intermediate, and resistant classifications
-
Real-time monitoring for multi-drug resistant (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR), and pandrug-resistant (PDR) organisms – alerts to emerging resistance patterns
-
Multi-mode statistical analysis – supports laboratory quality management and surveillance
-
Hospital infection warning – flags potential outbreak patterns
Seamless Data Management & LIS Connectivity
-
LIS/HIS connectivity – bidirectional interface for seamless integration with laboratory information systems
-
WHONET data export – supports participation in antimicrobial resistance surveillance networks
-
Comprehensive data management – patient records, QC tracking, and statistical reporting
-
QC quality control system – built-in tools for laboratory quality assurance
