PREVI® COLOR GRAM

Description

These days, your microbiology lab faces increased staffing, time and workflow pressures. Yet you can’t let that influence your quality standards: accuracy, time-to-results and full traceability for accreditation. Automated and designed for intuitive workflow, PREVI^® COLOR GRAM gives you confidence in the results you provide. It makes Gram staining easy and safe while ensuring accurate, standardized results in minutes.

Faster Gram staining to support antibiotic therapy adjustment

Improved Standardization by combining with WASP^® Gram Smearing Module

Accurate standardized staining

PREVI^® COLOR GRAM is an automated Gram stainer system that provides accurate, standardized results for all types of specimens.

• Standardized staining – innovative spray nozzles always
  dispense the same reagent volume
• No cross contamination – each slide separated & fresh staining reagent used each time
• Improved microorganism differentiation compared to
  manual and bath staining results
• Full traceability of reagents, users and maintenance – troubleshoot problems & ensure compliance
• User management to ensure standardization of the process

Clean and safe staining

Use of hazardous reagents in the Gram staining process is a safety concern, especially when it’s done manually. PREVI^® COLOR GRAM has been designed with your safety in mind. And its smart cleaning and disposal features are convenient and environmental responsibility too.

• User Safety
  • Ready-to-use, closed reagent bottles
  • Integrated reagent waste container to avoid user contact with waste
  • Low toxicity of crystal violet
  • Level sensors avoids waste spillover
• Clean & convenient
  • Self-contained waste system (no need for a sink)
  • Automated cleaning after 3-hours shut-off
  • Fewer maintenance issues
• Environmentally Friendly
  • Waste container
  • Less waste: economically uses just enough reagent needed
