Achieve greater efficiency

The DxM MicroScan WalkAway microbiology system includes LabPro Information Manager software designed to simplify workflow and minimize technologist interaction, while accommodating differing regional and institutional environments through extensive customization features. Our customizable LabPro Alert_EX software automates detection of atypical results for quick reporting and directs staff to the most appropriate action, based on customized institutional procedures. Optional LabPro Connect software allows you to consolidate data from multiple testing systems on epidemiology reports right in your laboratory office.

The system's direct MIC detects emerging resistance, providing accurate results without reliance on historical data or virtual MIC.²
