Automated Blood Culture Systems are the laboratory devices that are used for detecting pathogens in blood specimens. When the test sample is inoculated into vial, the microorganisms present in the sample metabolize the nutrients in the culture medium and releases carbon dioxide gas into the medium. The dye in the culture bottle reacts with carbon dioxide. This modulates the amount of light absorbed by fluorescent material in the sensor and measure the fluorescence level, corresponding to carbon dioxide released. After the analysis, if the vial is determined positive then the presence of viable microorganisms is confirmed. It majorly helps to achieve rapid and automated growth detection bacteria in blood samples or sterile body fluids.
