Astratus

Astratus is an instruments company developing a rapid antimicrobial susceptibility testing platform for clinical microbiology.

Its microcapillary cassette and reader system delivers digital susceptibility results directly from urine samples in under six hours, compared to the two to three days required by standard laboratory methods. The platform supports antimicrobial stewardship by enabling targeted antibiotic prescribing at the point of diagnosis.

Designed for human clinical, veterinary, and research, the modular system scales to high-throughput laboratory workflows.
