How does Scan VIT® work?
The Scan VIT® technology is based on the highly specific VIT® gene probe technology and is used for the analysis and absolute quantification of microcolonies.
The workflow of the analysis procedure is simple and fast, requiring only a few minutes of work. A defined liquid volume is filtered and enriched for 8 to max. 72 hours, depending on the degree of contamination and the type of microorganisms to be analyzed. The sample is then hybridized with the specifically programmed VIT® gene probes. The analysis is carried out using a VIT® adapted fluorescence microscope. Even coalesced colonies of different species can be reliably identified thanks to the highly specific VIT® gene probes.
Absolute quantitative results are therefore available after 12 to max. 72 hours after sampling. Compared to conventional detection methods, this means a time saving of up to 7 days.
