Powered by BD Synapsys™ informatics solution, the BD Kiestra™ InoqulA is a comprehensive, automated microbiology sample processing solution.
Powered by BD Synapsys™ microbiology informatics solution, the BD Kiestra™ ReadA intelligent incubation and imaging system provides closed door incubation and high throughput imaging, delivering accuracy through standardized digital image acquisition.
With the rolling bead technology, generate more discrete colonies than loop-based streaking1 and reduce the need for subcultures by up to 73% depending on the streak pattern,1 which may shorten time to pathogen identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing by up to one working day.1
Generate consistent and reproducible high-quality results1 in fully automated (FA) mode through standardised and accurate inoculation and streaking.
Streamline your laboratory operations with an all-in-one automated solution that enables staff to spend less time on repetitive tasks and more time on performing higher skilled, value-added tasks.2
Benefit from high throughput processing and the flexibility to process urgent samples on demand, minimising interruptions to your workflow.

Continuous loading
Accommodates the loading and unloading of plates and sample racks while the system is operating.
Priority sample processing
Process user prioritised urgent samples in real-time, minimising interruptions to workflow.
Conductive pipette technology
Precisely dispense accurate volume while also detecting clots and foam to help minimise false negative no growth results in fully automated mode.
Positive dispense verification
Real-time dispense verification helps to ensure the sample is inoculated to the plate in fully automated mode.
Closed lid streaking
Minimise aerosol contamination by streaking samples with the plate lid closed.
Consistently achieve high-quality, standardised streaking results by producing more discrete colonies compared to traditional loop-based streaking methods.1 Reduce the need for subcultures by up to 73% depending on the streaking pattern.1
Slide preparation module
The optional slide preparation module inoculates liquid sample types onto slides based on the lab’s test-protocol. Slides will be automatically barcoded and the 2D barcode contains unique identifier which is easily traceable to the appropriate specimen within BD Synapsys™ informatics solution.
Broth tube inoculation
Automatically inoculate liquid samples from validated sample tubes into broths for primary inoculation workflow in fully automated mode. If it’s part of your laboratory’s test protocol, the broth tube can be placed back on the BD Kiestra™ InoqulA for secondary inoculation onto plates.
Class II-like biosafety cabinet
Class II-like biosafety cabinet helps provide user and environmental protection for liquid and non-liquid sample processing.
The BD Kiestra™ InoqulA is an in vitro diagnostic medical device bearing a CE mark
