Q-linea announces that its ASTar, a system for rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing (rAST), has been chosen to fulfill tender obligations at several Italian laboratories, following the withdrawal of the Accelerate Pheno system from the market.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Franco Pellegrini, VP Sales EMEA at Q-linea, comments:
“We are working closely with the laboratories affected by Pheno’s discontinuation to ensure a smooth and immediate transition to ASTar as their new rAST solution of choice. Customers have selected ASTar for its ease of use, broad organism and antibiotic coverage, and high-throughput capabilities. In addition to these projects, we are actively evaluating further requests from current Pheno users seeking a reliable replacement for their rAST needs.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
