Mindray TDR-X060 Automatic Blood Culture Analyzer
The Mindray TDR-X060 Automated Blood Culture System is a benchtop microbiology analyzer that automatically incubates, agitates, and continuously monitors blood-culture and sterile body-fluid bottles for microbial growth. It is built for hospital and reference microbiology laboratories, clinics, and diagnostic centers in the Philippines that need a compact, walk-away platform for bloodstream-infection workup. The system holds up to 60 culture bottle positions and uses Mindray's irreversible colorimetric detection technology together with multi-calculation algorithms to flag bottles as growth is detected, helping the laboratory manage turnaround without constant manual checking.
Each bottle sits in a temperature-controlled, drawer-type incubator with independent agitation. The enclosed drawer design reduces interference from the surrounding environment, and a dual heating system (solid heating bath plus air heating bath) is used to hold incubation temperature steady across the run. Loading is done in one step by scanning the bottle barcode and entering patient information at the 12-inch Windows-based touchscreen, and results can be transmitted through bidirectional LIS (Bi-LIS).
Key features and specifications
- Capacity: 60 bottle positions; daily specimen throughput of up to 12 vials (predefined culture period of 5 days).
- Detection principle: irreversible colorimetry with multi-calculation algorithms (sustained acceleration, rate, and initial threshold).
- Sensitivity: ≤10 CFU/ml.
- Specimen types: blood, CSF, peritoneal fluid, pleural fluid, bone marrow, and other sterile body fluids.
- Compatible culture bottles: TDR Aerobic, TDR Anaerobic, TDR Pediatric (Peds), and resin versions – TDR Resin Aerobic, TDR Resin Anaerobic, TDR Resin Peds. The resin formulations are designed to adsorb antibiotics and inflammatory factors without interfering with Gram staining.
- Incubation: drawer-type incubator with independent agitation and a dual heating system (solid bath + air bath) for stable temperature control.
- Bottle material: polythene (plastic) bottles that resist breakage from accidental falls to help reduce biohazard exposure.
- Display and software: 12-inch touchscreen with Windows-based operating system; one-step barcode loading and exportable statistics, including bacterial growth curves and negative pre-diagnostic reporting.
- Connectivity: USB, RS-232C, and LAN; bidirectional LIS (Bi-LIS) support; 500 GB onboard data storage.
- Power supply: AC 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz.
- Operating environment: 0–35°C; relative humidity 30–85%, non-condensing.
What is included, installation, and service
Supplied as the TDR-X060 main unit with its integrated drawer-type incubators, agitation mechanism, and 12-inch touchscreen controller. TDR culture bottles, resins, and laboratory consumables are ordered separately to match each laboratory's protocols. As an authorized Philippine distributor, Medisense (Osyali Construction & Trading, Inc.) provides delivery, professional installation and commissioning, operator training, and after-sales engineering support including preventive maintenance, calibration, repair, and spare parts. The TDR-X series is modular, so incubator capacity can be expanded as testing volume grows. For configuration, current pricing in Philippine Peso (PHP), and a formal quotation, contact Medisense.
