Surveillance

The Ibis T5000™ Biosensor System was designed as a research tool to help identify the strain or origin of an organism, even when the organism has only a single nucleotide (i.e., A, C, G, or T) difference.

The Ibis T5000 Biosensor System has the ability to broadly and rapidly identify for public health research infectious organisms in a complex mixture without culturing the organism. This unique attribute makes the Ibis T5000 Biosensor System ideal for the identification of newly emerging infectious diseases or tracking the spread of specific strains of known organisms for non-diagnostic uses.

For example, the Ibis T5000 Biosensor System could be used in a research setting to identify newly emerging infectious agents such as the SARS coronavirus, monkeypox virus, West Nile virus, and multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria.

The Ibis T5000 Biosensor System reports a resistance and virulence profile for each sample. Depending on the assay type performed, mutations in the amplified region can be identified. The Ibis T5000 Biosensor System provides clonality-tracking capability during outbreaks. The Ibis Assay Kits are available in pre-configured formats as standard kit offerings.
