Perform Automated LysisThe Hygiena™ Automated Thermal Block automatically heats and cools the sample to break open bacterial cells and expose the target DNA for detection.

Review ResultsResults are displayed as clear yes or no icons that don't require expert analysis.

Enrich SamplesCombine your measured sample with enrichment media and incubate to grow target organisms to detectable levels.

Prepare Lysis ReagentTransfer enriched sample to lysis reagent in cluster tubes.

Complete Process RunPlace the PCR tubes into the BAX® System X5 instrument for automated analysis.
