MICRONAUT-UR - semi-automated microbiology

The MICRONAUT-UR System from MERLIN for pathogen identification (ID) and antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) using the broth microdilution method in the microbiology laboratory is the standard method according to EUCAST for dilution procedures and allows the testing of several clinically relevant antibiotics that cannot (or no longer) be tested by agar diffusion.
Even small practice laboratories with few antibiograms will find in MICRONAUT a true alternative to manual test kits and answers to the limitations of agar diffusion. The MICRONAUT system is rounded off by user-friendly software that takes into account the latest EUCAST standards (breakpoints).
Basic antibiograms and extended antibiograms, quality assurance, and pathogen statistics, considering EBM, the Quality Assurance Agreement (KBV-QSV), and the RiliBÄK guidelines for internal and external quality controls, are significantly reduced in their complexity. The possibility of integration into many common practice software systems is self-evident. We would be happy to advise you and your team on whether the MICRONAUT system can be a diagnostically and economically valuable option for you. For this purpose, we will first introduce the system to you in detail in an e-learning session and then gladly enable you to test it in your own practice under expert guidance.
Simply write to us at micronaut@aurosan.de. We look forward to your interest and guarantee you manufacturer- and method-neutral advice. Application videos for the MICRONAUT system can be found in our Self-study section.

In addition, the MICRONAUT-UR System represents only one component of the Digital Laboratory. Urine chemistry and urine sediment can also be automated cost-effectively and with high quality for small practice laboratories.
