However, delays in the detection of bacterial pathogens in blood cultures and delays in antimicrobial susceptibility testing are common. Time lost transporting samples to culturing cabinets can significantly exacerbate these delays.<\/p>\n<p>While it is recommended that blood culture bottles be incubated within two hours of collection, in practice, they can spend up to 20 hours in transport and handling, especially when sent from off-site or spoke facilities.<br \/>\nPodler redefines the traditional timeline by allowing for immediate incubation, agitation, and continuous monitoring of a blood culture bottle right after blood draw. Time lost during transport is instead converted directly into<br \/>\nincubation time, turning downtime into diagnostic progress.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Portable and powerful:<\/strong> Podler offers the full capabilities of a large, stationary incubator in a compact unit that fits in the palm of your hand<\/li>\n<li><strong>Real-time monitoring:<\/strong> Bacterial growth is tracked within the Podler unit, including during transport. A simple LED color change indicates positivity, either on the Podler station or on the unit itself<\/li>\n<li><strong>Immediate action:<\/strong> If a sample turns positive during transit, it can immediately undergo organism identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing\u00a0 upon arrival at the lab<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Podler has the potential to change the way we approach sample incubation and monitoring. Together with ASTar, Podler aims to enable clinicians to make more informed treatment decisions, sooner.<\/p>\n            <\/div>\r\n                            <div class=\"imgWrapper\">\r\n                                            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/qlinea.com\/0986741_wp-uploads\/2025\/06\/Podlerimage3-500x750.png\" alt=\"\">\r\n                                    <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n\n\r\n<a title=\"Learn more about Podler\" class=\"content_cta contentmodule alignfull align_left\" style=\"background-color: #343F52\" data-text-color=\"#fff\" href=\"https:\/\/qlinea.com\/us\/contact-and-media\/\" title=\"https:\/\/qlinea.com\/us\/contact-and-media\/\">\r\n    <div class=\"wrapper flexRowWrapper\">\r\n                    <div class=\"image\">\r\n                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/qlinea.com\/0986741_wp-uploads\/2024\/05\/Ikoner_RGB_2-04.png\" alt=\"\">\r\n            <\/div>\r\n                            <div class=\"text\">\r\n                <h2 class=\"heading\">Learn more about Podler<\/h2>\r\n                <p class=\"preamble\">Podler is currently under development and not yet available for commercial purchase.
