The Vitek 2 is an automated microbial identification system for healthcare laboratories that uses fluorescence-based technology to provide fast, accurate results for microbial identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing.
The Vitek 2 system has a comprehensive database, an extensive identification and susceptibility menu, and can reduce the time it takes to get results.
The Vitek 2 Compact system offers quality control testing solutions with rapid results, minimal training time, and an extensive identification database.
Vitek Solutions can get results to clinicians 14 to 20 hours earlier, facilitating clinical decision-making for optimal treatment. VITEK MS ID saves labs about 50% compared to traditional ID methods, and same-day AST reporting with VITEK® 2 can reduce hospital costs as much as 40%.

Identification Card Types
GN (Gram-negative bacilli) 170 organisms
GP (Gram-positive cocci & bacilli) 128 organisms
ANC (Anaerobes & Corynebacteria) 117 organisms
NH (Neisseria & Haemophilus) 36 organisms
The Vitek 2 uses a disposable AST card to test patient isolates. Each card contains a positive control well with no antibiotic and multiple wells with increasing concentrations of various antibiotics.
Vitek 2 continuously monitors growth in all wells.
The Vitek 2 system can identify bacteria and yeast using biochemical reactions and nutrient usage of the microorganism.
The test requires that a sufficient amount of growth be obtained during a set growth period of 18 – 70 hours. Test results, which involve bacteria growth, are obtained within 18-72 hours.
The Vitek 2 reports MIC values as numerical values. Values above or below the range of measurement are indicated with “=” (in case of above the range, in the resistant category).
