VITEK 2 Card

A unique concept for same day results.

Reliable species-level identification and resistance detection in bacteria and yeast is essential for accurate diagnosis and prompt, effective treatment of infection. Armed with the right identification and susceptibility results, you can help improve therapeutic success and patient outcome.

Proven Accuracy
The combination of automated VITEK 2 Technology and the ready-to-use VITEK 2 identification (ID) and susceptibility (AST) cards provide reliable, accurate ID and AST results for clinically important Gram-positive cocci, Gram-negative bacilli, and yeasts (1, 4, 5).
Inoculation with a simple, standardized saline suspension of organism No reagent addition Closed disposable for optimal user safety Pre-applied barcodes for maximum traceability Highest level of automation

Rapid Results
The VITEK 2 system allows for accurate and rapid identification of medically relevant bacteria and yeasts, improving the quality and cost effectiveness of patient care (1).

A Solution You Can Trust

The broadest database, the most accurate correct identification to species level, a faster time-to-result, and less manipulation time (2, 3) make VITEK 2 Technology the correct choice.
