ACENXION IS A DIAGNOSTIC PARTNER WITH PUBLIC HEALTH LABORATORIES, HOSPITALS AND CLINICS, AND HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS.

PHENOTYPIC AST RESULTS in 4-6 hours

At Acenxion Biosystems, we agree with Dr. Doern. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing is the process of determining which antibiotic will be effective for an infection. Without it, all a doctor can prescribe is a broad-spectrum antibiotic and in many cases those will not work.

Our scalable, automated AST system seamlessly fits into current clinical workflow and reduces the time required for phenotypic AST results from days to just hours allowing clinicians rapid use of a targeted treatment thereby minimizing antibiotic exposure and limiting Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR).

In terms of direct relevance to the care of patients with infection, AST may be the single most important activity performed in the clinical microbiology laboratory.

Diagnostic testing fast enough for life

Current gold-standard phenotypic Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) results are extremely labor intensive and notoriously slow. While doctors wait for test results, antibiotic resistance develops, hospital bills increase, patients suffer — or the results are too late and the patient dies. Acenxion's diagnostic technology can change that.

Protecting and extending antibiotic service life

Skipping AST leads to poor antibiotic stewardship through excessive use of broad spectrum therapies or ineffective antibiotic prescriptions. This results in the spread of antibiotic resistance and harms everyone who might benefit from antibiotics in the future.

Conclusive results in a fraction of the time

From the fluorescent microscope to penicillin-infused paper strips, many innovations in clinical diagnostics are the fusion of newly-discovered pathogen attributes with novel technology. The same is true at Acenxion Biosystems where we are delivering accurate results that are fast enough to make a difference.

Assisting patients and antibiotics

Phenotypic AST results in 4-6 hours means each patient can receive a targeted treatment with demonstrated effectiveness. It also means those microbes are eliminated quickly mitigating AMR risks and extending the service life of antibiotics for everyone's benefit.

COST-EFFECTIVE MEDICAL DEVICE TECHNOLOGY

We’re committed to gold-standard phenotypic results and won’t gamble by exchanging speed and accuracy.
We insist our solutions be easy, cost effective, and align with laboratory workflows to ensure adoption and common use.
We believe in the exciting technological advances of our field and have a sense of urgency to convert that innovation into available practice for doctors and patients.
We believe that long-term antibiotic stewardship is just as important as immediate patient treatments.
