Challenges Challenges

The laboratories used conventional culture methods, which are complex and time-consuming to analyse stool samples for enteric bacteria. A lengthy time to result was frustrating for the clinicians when 90% of their results were negative.

Objective Objective

To automate their enteric testing workflow with a molecular approach to improve accuracy, performance and cost-effectiveness.

Solution Solution

The staff at BIO67 completely transformed the way they carry out enteric testing by utilising the BD MAX™ system and the BD MAX™ enteric solutions portfolio.

They were able to improve laboratory performance by ensuring same-day results. With the new system, they were able to deliver accurate, relevant and trustworthy results.

Results

With the BD MAX™ solution, BIO67 was able to improve their detection of enteric pathogens, increase patient satisfaction, provide same-day results, and save on storage and waste-management costs.

BIO67 is a network of over 30 medical laboratories in Strasbourg, France and the surrounding area. Their microbiology laboratories carry out bacteriology, parasitology, mycology and molecular biology testing.1
