PhenoMATRIX®
Advanced Artificial Intelligence for Microbiology
Powered by Bioz
Product Overview
Unparalleled in the industry, PhenoMATRIX® uses artificial intelligence combined with clinical information from the LIS with rules customized by the laboratory to automatically read, interpret, and sort bacterial cultures. Results can then be released in batches with a click of a button.
- Recognizes, quantifies, and interprets bacterial growth
- Segregates cultures for review
- Choose from three AI software packages to meet your laboratory needs
The PhenoMATRIX® AI suite offers WASPLab® users automatic reading, interpretation, and sorting of bacterial cultures, transforming how microbiologists interact with their work.
Never Touch a Negative Plate Again
Dramatically decrease hands-on time wasted on negative and insignificant cultures, allowing you to focus your care and attention on the positives.1, 3
Increase Efficiency and Streamline Workflow
Automatically sort culture plate images so technologists can easily review and report to the LIS with one click.1, 6
Improve Consistency and Reproducibility
Remove manual interpretation variabilities by ensuring best practices for culture interpretation through fixed and custom rules.2, 5, 6
Empower Laboratory Staff
Artificial Intelligence allows laboratory professionals to use their valuable time and expertise on critical thinking, analysis, and interpretation.1, 4
Simplify Workflow with Intelligent Image Analysis
The PhenoMATRIX AI® suite offers WASPLab® users automatic reading, interpretation, and sorting of bacterial cultures, transforming how microbiologists interact with their work. The system allows swift, efficient resulting of patient samples with the click of a button.1, 6
Streamline Culture Analysis and Reporting
PhenoMATRIX® software interprets images, sorting cultures based on criteria to include colony counts, chromogenic color changes, morphology, hemolysis patterns and more according to specific laboratory protocols. This eliminates tedious manual visual sorting at the bench. Laboratory technologists can effortlessly review the organized images, and with a simple click, report grouped negative and positive results directly to the LIS.3, 4-6
Choose the best AI software package
Select the optimal PhenoMATRIX® AI package to suits your laboratory’s requirements.
- The Essentials package provides core urine culture reading and analysis.
- The Select tier adds specialized protocols like MDRO surveillance through the use of chromogenic agars.

PhenoMATRIX® TAG and Colibrí™
Colibrí™ is a fully automated instrument that prepares colonies for MALDI ID and susceptibility testing. This instrument integrates perfectly with advanced PhenoMATRIX® TAG which analyzes the digital plate, automatically “tags” significant colonies for picking, and communicates the colony coordinates to the Colibri™ for reliable and accurate picking.
