Automated blood culture system
The automated blood culture system comprises a constant-temperature maintenance system, an oscillating agitation system, a detection system, a computer control system, and a power supply system. Utilizing continuous monitoring technology, it enables the rapid detection of pathogenic microorganisms in blood samples and sterile body fluids. It addresses diagnostic requirements for bloodstream infections and provides a scientific basis for antibiotic therapy.
