MAAP-IR simplifies laboratory operations with its streamlined workflow

Suitable for a variety of patient samples including blood, sputum, urine, and stool.

Compatible with culture plates prepared within 24-48 hours.

Utilising Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) mode, MAAP-IR achieves high-quality spectral acquisition with minimal sample preparation.

Advanced machine learning algorithms analyse the spectral data, providing accurate microorganism identification and verification.

Results are viewed through the MAAP-IR software and are accessible through the web browser and secure login credentials. PDF reports of the results can be generated, viewed, downloaded and printed.
