RapidAST

The RapidAST On-Site Urine Culture and Sensitivity Testing device enables rapid, laboratory-quality detection of bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance directly at the point of care, providing results in less than seven hours. Its main features include simultaneous testing of multiple antibiotics through a compact, user-friendly design, microfluidic disposable cartridges that prevent cross-contamination, high-resolution microscopy for detailed phenotypic analysis, and automation that eliminates manual pipetting, making the testing process efficient, accurate, and accessible for veterinary clinics, pharmacies, and long-term care facilities. This innovative system addresses the problem of delayed diagnostic results by enabling same-day, patient-specific antibiotic susceptibility testing, thereby improving treatment decisions, reducing unnecessary antibiotic use, and lowering associated healthcare costs for clinicians, caregivers,.

RapidAST can be found in Application Security Testing (SAST/DAST) categories.
