TRINITY V3 Antibiotic Zone Reader

Antibiotic Zone Reader: JP Method

Antibiotic zone reader, the JP Method (JP (Japanese Pharmacopeia) assay

TRINITY V3 color digital imaging technology automates zone reading and calculations for the JP (Japanese Pharmacopeia) assay. This greatly improves the accuracy, speed and standardization of reading.

​TRINITY V3 reads and calculates up to 15 plates, and includes potency calculation options for the JP Method. This eliminates all transcription and calculation errors, providing significant labor savings and standardization of testing. Regular software updates including new features are available via website download. TRINITY V3 requires no routine maintenance as it contains no motors or moving parts, only solid state digital electronics.

​Workflow

After inserting a plate into the TRINITY V3 drawer, a color digital image on-screen is analyzed instantly with zone diameters displayed. The user reviews and confirms zone sizes. Threshold and sensitivity settings allow for precise consistent reading of difficult plates. After all plates are read, calculations are displayed. All plate images may be saved and archived for future review.

Test Results

TRINITY V3 layout of samples on the plates and number of plates per set follows the JP method. Testing can be incorporated into the laboratory routine without altering current manual methods, materials, organisms, and plate sample layout pattern. The user may adjust plate layout options.

Test results can be printed, saved, and exported. All calculated values are displayed on-screen.
