Cytophenix FloCAST™
Rapid Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing
4-hour same-shift AST results. 48–72 hours faster than current methods.
Why Rapid Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (AST) Matters
Faster AST transforms patient care for patients with life-threatening infections.
4-Hour AST Results
4-Hour AST Results
Delivers AST results for doctors to optimize antimicrobial therapy in the same shift as the positive blood culture.

Mitigate Sepsis Mortality Risk
Mitigate Sepsis Mortality Risk
Reduces the deadly delays in effective antimicrobial therapy that raise mortality by up to 7.6% per hour. (Kumar et al.)1 (Liu et al.)2
Reduce Adverse Events
Reduce Adverse Events
Enables targeted therapy that reduces risks of extended broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy, including kidney damage, C. difficile infection, and blindness.
For Research Use Only (RUO)Improve Clinical Decision Making for Life-Threatening Infections
For patients with serious infections, Cytophenix FloCAST™ delivers AST in 4 hours same-shift for Gram-negative bacteria and fungi, including the alarming MDRO threat Candida auris.

Mitigate or Eliminate Risk of the Sepsis Response
Cytophenix FloCAST™ best aligns laboratory and clinical practice with the requisite urgency of sepsis. It reduces the diagnostic horizon commensurate with the Society of Critical Care Medicine's Surviving Sepsis Campaign Hour-1 Bundle (SEP-1 Bundle).
Rapid AST enables de-escalation same-shift, reducing the risk of adverse events for patients with extended broad-spectrum antimicrobial therapy.
