This additional funding comes after the company announced that it has received its third FDA 510(k) clearance for its direct from Positive Blood Culture Separator. This clearance allows the company to offer a single platform that can deliver fast AST results for isolated colonies as well as positive blood cultures.

Fast Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing (AST) is made possible by the Selux NGP System, which can provide same-day AST findings. This will improve patient care and lessen the overuse of broad spectrum antibiotics, which is a key contributing reason to the rise in superbugs.
