PhenoMATRIX®
Advanced Artificial Intelligence for Microbiology
Powered by Bioz
Product Overview
Unparalleled in the industry, PhenoMATRIX® uses artificial intelligence combined with clinical information from the LIS with rules customized by the laboratory to automatically pre-sort bacterial cultures and assist technologists in interpretation based on laboratory-validated rules.
- Recognizes, quantifies, and interprets bacterial growth
- Segregates cultures for review
- Choose from three AI software packages to meet your laboratory needs
WASPLab® and PhenoMATRIX® systems provide advanced imaging and AI tools to assist microbiology professionals in culture plate analysis. All final interpretations and resulting are performed by qualified laboratory personnel according to validated laboratory protocols.
Streamline Negative Plate Review
Dramatically decrease time spent on negative and insignificant cultures, allowing you to focus your care and attention on the positives.1, 3
Increase Efficiency and Streamline Workflow
Automatically sort culture plate images so technologists can easily review and report to the LIS with one click.1, 6
Improve Consistency and Reproducibility
Reduce interpretation variability by ensuring best practices for culture interpretation through fixed and custom rules.2, 5, 6
Empower Laboratory Staff
Artificial Intelligence allows laboratory professionals to use their valuable time and expertise on critical thinking, analysis, and interpretation.1, 4
Simplify Workflow with Intelligent Image Analysis
The PhenoMATRIX AI® suite offers WASPLab® users automatic reading, interpretation, and sorting of bacterial cultures, transforming how microbiologists interact with their work. The system allows swift, efficient review and resulting of patient samples following technologist evaluation. 1, 6
Streamline Culture Analysis and Reporting
PhenoMATRIX® software analyzes high-resolution culture images and sorts them based on criteria including colony count, chromogenic color changes, morphology, hemolysis patterns, and other laboratory-defined parameters. This significantly reduces sorting time by pre-organizing plates for faster technologist evaluation.
Laboratory technologists remain responsible for reviewing all images and, following laboratory protocols, can efficiently report grouped negative and positive results directly to the LIS with a simple click. 3, 4-6
Choose the best AI software package
Select the optimal PhenoMATRIX® AI package to suit your laboratory’s requirements.
- The Essentials package provides core urine culture reading and analysis.
- The Select tier adds specialized protocols like MDRO surveillance through the use of chromogenic agars.
- For maximum efficiency, Elite with TAG enables automated colony tagging for ID and susceptibility testing workflows.
PhenoMATRIX® and Colibrí™
Colibrí™ is a fully automated instrument that prepares colonies for MALDI ID and susceptibility testing. This instrument integrates perfectly with advanced PhenoMATRIX® with TAG configuration which analyzes the digital plate, automatically “tags” significant colonies for picking, and communicates the colony coordinates to the Colibri™ for reliable and accurate picking.
