Description
The BACT/ALERT® 3D family of products brings you sophisticated automated microbial detection systems with advantages in every dimension of blood culture testing from safety and design to recovery and accuracy. They provide optimal environments for the recovery of a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi and mycobacteria. All this in a single innovative platform that’s the most compact, modular and flexible system available.
Flexible & scalable to suit any lab
The BACT/ALERT® system is a flexible and scalable family of three instruments with various capacities – so they offer advantages to suit different sized labs with different needs.

- 120 cell capacity in two drawers
- Connect to up to 3 incubator modules to one Combo instrument
- Sample-loading flexibility with left- or right-handed sample loading drawers
- Drawers configured for blood or mycobacterium cultures
BACT/ALERT® 3D 60: Simply smaller
- 60 cell capacity (3,600 blood/body fluids annually)
- Optimized space saving & cost-effective design – so any laboratory can benefit from BACT/ALERT® 3D technology
- Configurable for blood or mycobacterium cultures
Workflow that’s as easy as 1-2-3
Sometimes, the simplest things make the biggest difference. As labs face the challenges of higher volumes, demand for reduced turnaround and the need to use staff resources effectively, smart workflow is critical. The efficient workflow you get with BACT/ALERT® 3D instrument helps you meet those challenges, reduce risk of error and gain peace-of-mind through easy and intuitive bottle handling. In fact, the bottle-handling process is as easy as 1-2-3 with the three-step bottle loading process of Touch, Scan, Load:
- Exclusive touch-screen operation enables text-free control, facilitates bottle handling and provides instant visual and audio alerts for positive bottles
- Bar-code scanner reads bottle ID and LIS accession numbers for faster, easier bottle entry
- Patented cell flags in each cell instantly recognize bottle movements and let you load bottles anywhere in the system
- Easy procedure minimizes training requirements and enhances productivity
Safe and reliable media
The BACT/ALERT® system uses media cleared for use with blood, sterile body fluids and platelets, as well as specialized media for detection of mycobacteria. Unique colorimetric technology outshines other technology by reducing false negatives due to delayed bottle entry. Triple-layer bottle design ensures appropriate environment for reliable recovery of microorganisms.
- Safety and efficiency are ensured with plastic blood culture media, pioneered by bioMérieux
- Shatter-resistant bottles reduce biohazard exposure risk
- Light-weight bottles offer cost-effective shipping and disposal – without compromising results

Data Management Options
BACT/ALERT® 3D Select software provides basic data management functions. Five customizable data fields can be used to add patient demographics or culture information. Reports can be generated based upon data entered into customizable fields or instrument-generated data. Reports are customizable with sorting and printing capabilities.
BACT/ALERT® 3D SelectLink software offers the same capabilities as BACT/ALERT® 3D Select but in addition has an interface to the Laboratory Information System (LIS) to eliminate manual data entry. This option is perfect for laboratories that rely on their LIS for most of their reporting needs.
BACT/ALERT® 3D Signature software includes OBSERVA®, a comprehensive, flexible and customizable data management system. Signature is an ideal choice for demanding environments where site-specific operating modes and customized data manipulation and reporting are necessities. It offers user-defined data fields with options lists, configurable icons to launch functions or print reports, numerous pre-programmed reports which are also customizable, and the ability to query the database by virtually any parameter. The BACT/ALERT® 3D Signature system includes an interface from BACT/ALERT® 3D to the LIS.
