Standardize incubation and imaging for digital interpretation by laboratory staff.The BD Kiestra™ ReadA provides closed door incubation and high throughput imaging to streamline laboratory workflow.

Transforming microbiology. Improving laboratory outcomes.

• Four input stackers to manually load stacks of inoculated plates

• Connect to track solution to automatically move plates to and from the incubator

• Each incubator comes with four output stackers

• Each stacker can be configured to specific tasks, such as:

- Waste handling

- Follow-up work

- External incubation

• Barcoded for full traceability

• The plate protocol will direct:

- Incubation condition

- Incubation duration

- Image times

• All plates are stored individually and are easily accessible

• Dedicated and single purpose lanes for plate infeed, outfeed and imaging to prevent bottle necks

• Rapid plate delivery or imaging upon user request

• Closed door incubation enables constant temperature and stable O2 or CO2 levels

• Designed with laminar air flow to enable uniform temperatures in all corners of the smart incubator.

• Removable plate racks for easy cleaning

• User safety through closed lid incubation and transportation

• HEPA filtered camera area to reduce the risk of cross contamination by aerosols.

• High throughput imaging up to 300 plates per hour

Improve operational efficiency by automating routine plate management tasks Plates are automatically delivered to the appropriate incubator to begin the incubation and imaging protocol. When ready, plates are sorted to waste or dedicated, user-defined locations.

• Streamlines workflow by reducing the time spent sorting plates.

• Improves quality through reliable plate tracing and standardized, protocol-driven incubation times.

• Images and digitizes externally incubated plates in an efficient manner.

Enhance bacterial growth by standardizing incubation times and conditionsBD Kiestra™ ReadA may increase bacterial growth by up to 31% compared to traditional microbiology1,*

• Helps to enhance operational efficiency through time to result.

• Provides constant incubation conditions, using a closed environment, which enhances bacterial growth including rarely isolated organisms.1

• Provides the flexibility to set-up incubation protocols according to your Standard Operating Procedures.

Improve colony detection and reduce image variability

Combine high-speed performance and standardized image acquisition to enable diagnostic imaging

BD Kiestra™ ReadA contains a 25-megapixel camera with a telecentric lens and ensures plates are oriented for consistency of images over time.

BD Kiestra™ Optis™ technology acquires up to 22 images of each plate and determines the optimal value for each pixel using three light sources: top, bottom and side.
