  • Combined rapid susceptibility assay and microorganism identification system
    Patent number: 8828680
    Abstract: In response to the need for highly-sensitive antibiotic susceptibility assays and identification assays that do not require extensive incubation times, the present invention provides automated assay methods and systems that permit the determination of antibiotic susceptibilities and/or microorganism identification in a timeframe that is substantially shorter than has previously been attainable using a hybrid system that combines turbimetric and fluorescence determinations using a single, clear-plastic assay platform. Related devices, kits, and components thereof are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 22, 2012
    Date of Patent: September 9, 2014
    Assignee: Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc.
    Inventors: Gregory B. Williams, Daniel M. Nothaft, Glenn F. Enscoe, Kathleen N. Burtner, Monte E. Kangas
