Gradientech AB Information

Gradientech is a Swedish in vitro diagnostics company that supports the modern microbiology lab with cutting-edge solutions to facilitate the workflow with time-critical samples. Our product, QuickMIC®, is an ultra-rapid system for antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST) of positive blood culture samples from sepsis patients. QuickMIC® is a scalable system with each instrument analysing one sample against a tailored gram-negative antibiotic panel. MIC values are reported in as short as 2 hours, making it more rapid than any other diagnostic system for phenotypic AST. Gradientech’s technology combines microfluidics with live imaging to analyse bacterial responses on a linear antibiotic concentration gradient. The revolutionary technology delivers MIC values with unprecedented precision in record time.
