IDEXX will be demonstrating Pseudalert for the first time to IHEEM attendees.
Pseudalert has been introduced into the UK healthcare sector to facilitate the rapid identification of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in hospital water systems. The system uses ‘an innovative bacterial enzyme technology’ to identify P. aeruginosa, giving either a presence/absence, or a quantified result, in 24 hours. The company said: “This is half the time taken by traditional laboratory culture methods, which need a minimum incubation time of 48 hours.”
IDEXX Water is ‘a global provider of water testing solutions that deliver easy, rapid, accurate, and cost-effective information on water quality to laboratories and public utilities around the world’.
