  2. Place the inoculum into the VITEK® 2 Cassette at the Smart Carrier Station
  3. The VITEK® 2 Card and sample are linked via barcode
  4. Once the Cassette is loaded, the instrument handles all subsequent steps for incubation and reading
  5. Results at a glance:
  • Intuitive interface
  • Easy-to-access results with multiple filters
  • Bidirectional connection with your LIS
  • Automatic validation & transfer of preliminary results
