Operating as a closed cartridge-based test, LiDia® BSI utilizes highly sensitive sample preparation and semiconductor-based PCR analysis to rapidly identify pathogens and key antibiotic resistance markers. Aiming to deliver clinically actionable results straight from raw blood specimens in under 3 hours, LiDia® BSI will aid patient management by offering a significant reduction in time-to-result compared to the current standard of culture-based diagnosis, which generally requires several days to produce a result.
