Rapid Detection

Rapid growth of organisms and their subsequent increase in metabolic activity translates into rapid detection. In addition, a range of physical features contribute to highly sensitive detection of growth at the earliest possible time.

  • Sensitive yet robust internal algorithm detects pressure transients due to growth.
  • Mixing system with high transfer rate between Culture Medium and headspace facilitates rapid pressure changes.
  • Highly efficienct pressure sensing technology converts to a digital electronic signal.
  • Minimal attenuation of signal by the non-invasive safety barrier.
  • Carefully balanced working volume to headspace ratio, and appropriate sensing chamber volumes contribute to optimised sensitivity.

The time to result is affected not only by direct culture and detection time but also the overall process from the time the blood is taken to communication of result to the clinician. In conventional systems, delays are common place.

Gemini's portability, versatility and near patient capabilities create many opportunities to adopt new, more efficient working practices.


Speed of result is critical to good quality healthcare.

Rapid results ensure that patients receive timely intervention with appropriate drugs, reducing the costs associated with unsuitable medication and additional time in care.

Gemini has the potential to reduce time to result not only due to rapid growth and detection technology but also by creating the opportunity for new concepts in working patterns.
