BACT/ALERT®Dual-T



BACT/ALERT®Dual-T

Sterility testing made easier with automation The BACT/ALERT® 3D Dual-T system was designed for users who need to perform rapid and easy product control. Performing non-destructive, dual-temperature microbial detection, this alternative system offers its users the most reliable results and a solution very close to the compendial sterility test.

Automation Meets Tradition

  • Rapidity
  • Traceability
  • Ease-of-use

The BACT/ALERT® Dual-T represents the automation of a traditional method : after injecting culture media bottles with a given sample, users only need to load the bottles into their system. Both the incubation and reading phases are automatically and objectively performed :

  • Simplified testing process
  • Reduced “hands-on” time and labor costs

This growth-based system can detect within 24-72 hours an extremely large range of organisms, such as aerobic, anaerobic, facultative microorganisms, yeast and fungi.

The dual-temperature feature of this system guarantees a complete coverage of growth conditions – and is compliant with the different pharmacopoeias - allowing to conduct microbial detection at both 32.5°C and 22.5°C.

To ensure accurate results’ traceability, we provide you with a 21 CFR Part 11-compliant data management system.

bioMérieux also offers a wide range of BACT-ALERT® 3D Dual-T culture media bottles, adapted to the type of microbial detection performed.

Benefits of the BACT/ALERT® 3D Dual-T

  • Reliable test results
  • Ease of use
  • Simplified workflow
  • Rapid detection
  • Non-destructive sterility test results
  • Flexible Data Management Options
