Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003091389
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for the classification of microorganisms. In particular, the invention relates to an apparatus and method for the classification of microorganisms with annotation of clinically and/or industrially relevant information. An apparatus according to the invention comprises a measuring apparatus for classifying a microorganism according to distinctive features, a database containing clinically and/or industrially relevant information of a plurality of microorganisms, and a calculation unit for comparing the results from the measuring apparatus to the information in the database for the annotation of the clinically and/or industrially relevant information to the microorganism, and in which the measuring apparatus, the database and the data analysis apparatus are provided with input and output means.
