Body

McDonnell Douglas Corporation manufactured the Auto Microbic System (AMS). This is a fully automated system which detects harmful microorganisms in the human body, identifies them, and determines which microbe killing agent would be most effective in eliminating them. Samples of body fluids are placed into the AMS where they are exposed to nine different microbe nutrients. AMS automatically monitors which cultures grow and which pathogens are present in the fluid sample. The AMS minimizes human error, reduces technician time, and increase laboratory output.
