Sysmex's new PA-100 AST System quickly diagnoses urinary tract infections (UTIs) in 15 minutes and identifies the best antibiotic in 30 minutes, using advanced nanofluidic technology. This system could save Spanish healthcare systems around €323 million annually by reducing overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics. It recently won the Longitude Prize for its role in fighting antimicrobial resistance.
