EXCELLENCE

FOR ROUTINE IDENTIFICATION

• Increase productivity and safety with the highest level of automation.
- Automated internal barcode scanner
- Automated loading mechanism
- Reads every 15 minutes for greater speed of identification
- Configuration options, giving you flexibility.
• Completed tests are automatically ejected into an ergonomic
trash container.

INTUITIVE SOFTWARE
• Intuitive icons require less technician
training resulting in higher productivity.
• Navigation tree shows actual status
of all cards increasing speed of results
and resolution of issues by staff.

NETWORKING
ANYWHERE WITH ANY HARDWARE
• Complete networking guide for remote print, view, back-up, restore and archiving.
• Freedom to use your hardware.
 Optional software includes the VITEK®2
Compact Validation Package
to get your laboratory up and running
in the shortest time possible.

• 21CFR11 compliant
• SRF, Supplemental React File, a customizable feature
to track facility-specific organisms.
• These organisms may be automatically transferred
to this area of the software and saved.
This eliminates typographical
errors and increases confidence
and quality of results.

• Single-use card with

no cross contamination
• Same day or next day results
• Highest accuracy

Time to Result Performance
Correct ID/1 Choice
BCL for all gram-positive spore-forming bacilli 14 hours 87%
CBC for Corynebacterium spp and related genera 8 hours 85.4%
GN for all gram-negative bacilli 2-10 hours 90%
GP for all gram-positive cocci and lactic acid bacilli 2-8 hours 94%
YST for all yeast-like organisms 18 hours 87%
ANC for anaerobic bacteria 6 hours 90%
 The DiversiLab® system provides best
in class genotypic characterization of
bacteria, yeast and mold – making it possible
to rapidly locate the source, and stop the spread
of further contamination.

COST EFFECTIVE:
THE RIGHT ANSWER AT THE RIGHT TIME
Investigations are completed as quick as four hours instead of several days while processing
up to 13 samples at the same time. The system automates and standardizes a traditionally
complex process while increasing consistency, reproducibility and ease of interpretation.
In addition, the DiversiLab system is complementary to VITEK® 2 Compact, giving you
the right answer with the right cost at the right time.

IMPROVE YOUR PROCESSES

AND CUSTOMER SAFETY
The DiversiLab System is widely applicable in biopharmaceutical investigation and reference labs.

DYNAMIC, SECURE REPORTS

The DiversiLab system goes beyond standard results, delivering interactive
dendrograms that simplify interpreting specific relationships between samples.
Results for manufacturers can be delivered more quickly and facility-wide
statistics can be compiled from molecular data. Databases are regularly
updated and may be customized with your own data.
21CFR11 compliant.
