MicroStation

For over 15 years the MicroStation™ system was the gold standard for phenotypic identification of a wide range of environmental and pathogenic microorganisms with a single microplate. The ID Station™ system builds on the MicroStation capabilities, with the continued ability to identify bacteria, anaerobes, yeast, and fungi using Biolog’s specialized microplates (GEN III, AN, YT, or FF) but with new and improved software and a continuously expanding database of over 3,000 microbes.
