Product news

Alifax, a leading manufacturer of innovative diagnostic instrumentation for hematology and microbiology applications, has launched a groundbreaking new solution for rapid bacteria identification.

I-dOne, a reagent-free system based on ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, identifies microorganisms from isolated colonies in just 60 seconds, requiring minimal manual work and no sample preparation or pre-treatment.

Designed to meet the increasing demand for reduced turnaround times and increased cost-efficiency in the clinical microbiology lab, this new technology has been developed through an intense partnership with the renowned Sincrotrone Area Science Park in Trieste.

It builds on 30 years of experience at Alifax, which through continuous research has become a global leader for the erythrocyte sedimentation rate test, with its instruments giving results in only 20 seconds.

In the field of microbiology, Alifax has developed instruments that provide antimicrobial susceptibility and resistance tests in only six hours, based on the rapid phenotypical method.

Alifax also offers a large range of instruments for various configurations and laboratory workflows.

Infrared / IR SpectroscopyInfrared (IR) spectroscopy measures the interaction of infrared light with a sample, including transmission, reflectance & absorbance, facilitating the identification of analytes. Equipment used for quantitative analysis includes Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers, infrared cameras, FTIR gas analyzers, as well as attenuated total reflectance (ATR) accessories and pellet or film presses.

Microorganisms are a useful research tool as genetic vectors and, in immunology, for antibiotic susceptibility testing, cellular biology and genetics. Microorganisms commonly grow readily in incubators with microbial culture media; this can contain chromogenic supplements to differentiate between cell lines. Estimate your culture’s density of microorganisms with colony counters, or screen and select colonies for desirable clones with automated colony pickers. Additionally, equipment is available to monitor environments for the presence of microbes and identify with microbial identification instruments.
