Becton Dickinson BACTEC MGIT 960 Mycobacteria Culture System

The BACTEC MGIT 960 System is a proven line of mycobacteria testing instruments from BD Biosciences – the undisputed world leader in mycobacteriology.

The BACTEC MGIT 960 System builds on the legacy of the BD BACTEC 9000MB System and the BD BACTEC 460TB System, the world’s first instrumented system for mycobacteria testing and still the benchmark of quality and reliability. The BACTEC MGIT 960 System combines these outstanding features with the technology used in the MGIT (Mycobacteria Growth Indicator Tube) System.

The BACTEC MGIT 960 instrument automatically directs the placement of each tube within the instrument and indicates positives with both a visual and an audible signal as they occur. The BACTEC MGIT 960 System is nonradiometric. It uses MGIT media and patented sensors, making efficient use of advanced fluorometric technology, which permits highly accurate detection of O2 consumption without sharps. Automated quality control is performed continuously to ensure precise and reliable operation. Results are provided as positive/negative and numerical Growth Units
