Single blind study- MIT identification from clinical specimens
In total, our lab obtained 90 clinical isolates on blood plates from UP Health System Marquette.

Our lab obtained 30 isolates in a month’s duration. The isolates were supplied on blood agar, and only a number as an identifier.

The hospital-determined identity of the bacteria isolates were not revealed to our laboratory until we finished all of the identification tests with the MIT 1000. Each strain was identified using the MIT instrument and identifications were conducted a minimum of 3 times for each strain.

In this single blind study 100% of the Staphylococcus species sent to us by the hospital were correctly identified by the MIT instrument
