Phenotech Multistar

The fastest and most extensible Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing (AST) Platform
The Phenotech Multistar platform offers game-changing nanomotion technology that slashes the time-to-results for Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing (AST) from days to just 2 hours. It proposes an alternative to the culture-based antibiogram that is growth independent and based on the nanomotion detection of living cells. The high throughput device can simultaneously analyze multiple drugs at one time and is equipped with classification software that provides information on which antibiotic should be used to treat the patient. Phenotech Mutlistar helps physicians save lives by providing personalized and effective treatment in time.

Technology

Cantilever sensors versus superbugs
Nanomotion technology

The Resistell technology platform utilises micro-mechanical sensors to measure nanomotion of living cells. The oscillations of bacteria at the nanoscale are compared before and after the use of antibiotics. When the bacteria cease to move, it means that the antibiotic has eliminated it and is therefore effective. The platform employs advanced machine learning (ML) to develop classification models for different susceptibility phenotypes.
