VITEK® 2 CardA unique concept for same day results.Reliable species-level identification and resistance detection in bacteria and yeast is essential for accurate diagnosis and prompt, effective treatment of infection.

Armed with the right identification and susceptibilityresults, you can help improve therapeutic success and patient outcome.

Proven AccuracyThe combination of automated VITEK® 2 Technology and the ready-to-useVITEK 2 identification (ID) and susceptibility (AST) cards provide reliable, accurate ID and AST results for clinically important Gram-positive cocci, Gram-negative bacilli, and yeasts (1, 4, 5).• Inoculation with a simple, standardized saline suspension of organism • No reagent addition• Closed disposable for optimal user safety• Pre-applied barcodes for maximum traceability• Highest level of automation

A Solution You Can TrustThe broadest database, the most accurate correct identification to species level, a fastertime-to-result, and less manipulation time (2, 3) make VITEK 2 Technology the correctchoice.

Rapid ResultsThe VITEK 2 system allows for accurate and rapid identification of medically relevantbacteria and yeasts, improving the quality and cost effectiveness of patient care (1).
