MAST URI^®SYSTEM Simple, Efficient, Effective

The Mast Uri^® System is an innovative and efficient semi-automated suite, comprising of instrumentation, software and reagents. The system provides a streamlined and cost-friendly alternative to traditional microbiological culture of urines, to aid the diagnosis of urinary tract infections (UTI).

The Mast Uri^® System can effectively identify pathogenic bacteria, eliminate negative urine samples and generate antibiotic susceptibility results. Intuitive software with visual prompts guides sample processing and the bi -directional interface streamlines data management either manually or via the LIMs system. The Mast Uri^® System incorporates a simple bar-coding system to maintain traceability of the samples through the whole process.

When employing traditional culture methods, microbiological analysis of urine samples accounts for approximately 30-65% of the workload in clinical pathology laboratories. The Mast Uri^® System can re-allocate up to 50% of staff time, eliminating bottleneck situations, making it an attractive addition within the laboratory.  

The Mast Uri^® System allows for approximately 95% of urine samples to be reported within 24 hours.

The Mast Uri^® System is made up of the following suite of components:

• Mast Uri^®  Plus- automated plate reader and sample analyser
• ​Mast Uri^® Well- dispensing aid with 96 LED template for sample transfer.
  Inoculum plate containing 96 samples can be confidently prepared within 20 minutes.
• Mast Uri^® Plates - 96-well plate format pre-poured media plates for bacterial identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing (AST), using recognised EUCAST breakpoints.
  Customised to suit individual laboratory requirements.

• Mast Uri^® Dot- multiple sample inoculator
  Each Mast Uri^® Plate can be inoculated within 15 seconds which means that 96 samples can be processed in approximately less than 5 minutes.
• Mast Uri^® Prep– novel solution that allows urine specimen preparation to be performed independently of the Mast Uri^® Plus. 
  Innovative tablet format with minimal space required to greatly improve workflow and significantly increase capacity.

• Mast Uri^® Locate– unique chromogenic/fluorogenic reagent to ensure accurate and consistent inoculation and reading of the Mast Uri^® Plates.
  Custom inoculation pin ensures correct plate orientation and minimises risk of potential error.
