The IDEM Platform
The most advanced, fully connectable, whole genome sequencing surveillance tool for infectious diseases.
IDEM provides advanced, high definition, natural reference-free analysis of WGS data from bacterial pathogens, with easy-to-interpret results delivered in real clinical time to the clinical teams enabling prompt Infection Prevention interventions.
Compatible with any Illumina sequencer, IDEM delivers fully automated, easy to interpret analysis results within two hours
How it works
Use existing samples: All priority pathogens are selected following routine culture and prepped for WGS.
Sequencing: Compatible with Illumina platforms, we can provide guidance on the most cost-effective protocols across your hospitals and healthcare environments.
Monitoring: Continuous detection of potential outbreaks and transmission events​.
