Abstract

Instrumentation, Informatics and Artificial Intelligence: The Next Level of Automation in Clinical Microbiology Laboratory

Timely and accurate results are the cornerstone of microbiology laboratory operations. The introduction of automation in the clinical microbiology laboratory has been demonstrated to improve efficiency and quality through standardization of specimen processing and optimization of culture incubation and reduction of many manual processes.

In this webinar, you will see these impacts in a large microbiology laboratory, including some the most recent advances in automation instrumentation. Furthermore, you will be shown how BD Kiestra^TM TLA instrumentation, coupled with advances in informatics and artificial intelligence powered applications are further enhancing laboratory operations.

Learning Objectives

Review impact of BD Kiestra^TM TLA instrumentation on workflow with a focus on recent advances including BD Kiestra^TM IdentifA for automated colony picking and BD^TM Bruker MALDI-TOF target slide preparation
Demonstrate enhancements in laboratory workflow and standardization through integration of the BD Kiestra^TM TLA and BD Synapsys^TM Informatics Solution
Illustrate impacts of artificial intelligence applications, including BD Kiestra^TM Urine Culture Application and the BD Kiestra^TM MRSA Application
