Gen III Microstation System (Most preferred system)- GEN III Microstation is a semi-automated
microbial identification system. It is Plate reader which is linked to a computer configured with
software related to data collection and microbial identification software. It is capable of reading all
types of Biolog Microplates. A microplate loaded with suspension of a test organism is incubated in
a user-provided incubator and read using Microstation. The metabolic finger print is read and sent
to the computer for recording and eventual comparative studies with profiles already stored in
Biolog databases. Computer reports the species/genus when the metabolic finger print is matched
with those present in Biolog Database. The system is capable of identifying aerobic bacteria,
anaerobic bacteria, yeast as well as filamentous fungi.
System Benefits- No Gram stain is needed. One test panel IDs for both GN and GP bacteria. Setup
time in under a minute, accurate results in as little as 4 hours, Powerful RetroSpect software for
trending and tracking.
Gen III Omnilog Id System (Preferred system for handling a large number of samples)- Gen
III Omnilog Id System is an automated microbial identification system. It is provided along with
Omnilog which is Plate reader cum Incubator. It is linked to a computer configured with software
related to data collection and microbial identification software. A microplate loaded with
suspension of test organism is incubated and read in Omnilog. The metabolic finger print is read
and sent to the computer for recording and eventual comparative studies with profiles already
stored in Biolog databases. Computer reports the species/genus when the metabolic finger print is
matched with those present in Biolog Database. Omnilog can accommodate 50 Microplates
simultaneously, with recording of the metabolic finger-print at 15 minutes interval in real-time thus
making the microbial identification automated and high throughput. The system is capable of
automated identification of aerobic bacteria only. It can be upgraded to undertake Phenotype
Microarray.
Gen III Omnilog Plus Id System- The system is capable of automated identification of aerobic
bacteria, and rapid identification of anaerobic bacteria, yeast as well as filamentous fungi.
Gen III Microlog M System (Manual System)- Microlog M is the Manual Version of Biolog’s
Microbial Identification System. It uses the same Gen III plate and Gen III Microbial Identification
software, as are used in automated systems. Difference is that Computer and Plate Reader, are
not provided in Manual System. Microbial culture is used to inoculate the Gen III plate, which is
then incubated in a lab incubator. Plate is read for all the 96 tests manually in terms of Positive or
Negative reaction (If color appears, it is positive otherwise negative). The plate results (positive or
negative), are fed manually in Gen III software which is provided and loaded in a user provided
computer. Software does the analysis, searches Biolog provided database, and then reports the
species. You can also update the database with those genus/species which are not present in
Biolog database (using an optional Retrospect). Manual system can be used for only aerobic
bacteria.
