Welcome Back, ARIS® 2X!
“There is just no comparison for a truly mess-free, closed system which requires
no maintenance or reagents.”
Memorial Lufkin was one of the very first customers to have a Sensititre® ARIS
AST/ID system installed. As a matter of fact, an ARIS unit with the serial
number 10 was placed here in the 1980’s, even before I was a Med Tech student. Memorial
loved the ARIS, as it never gave us a bit of trouble. However, a few years ago, a rapid
system was brought into our laboratory to replace it as our AST/ID primary automated system.
We had continued to use Sensititre plates for testing non fermenting Gram negative and
Streptococcal isolates, that our rapid system would not accurately test. And finally,
after several years of really missing our ARIS, I was able to reinstitute its use in the
Fall of 2008.
