How fast is MagiCyte MB?
Traditional Methods
In traditional culture methods, labs have to wait until Day 4 to complete detection and start further analysis such as confirmation and characterization.
PCR
With alternative methods such as PCR, labs can get detection results much faster, but still have to wait until Day 4 (once colonies are isolated) to start further analysis.
MagiCyte MB
MagiCyte MB allows labs to get detection results as fast as PCR, while having colonies automatically picked at the same time.
