Sepsis can be present before it is seen
BD BACTEC™ Instruments Accelerates Your Sepsis Response
Modular, Reliable, Unstoppable
The BD BACTEC™ FX series delivers scalable, high-capacity performance to meet the needs of growing laboratories.
The FX top module provides a 200-vial capacity, and when paired with an FX bottom to create an FX stack, the system expands to 400 vials2.
With four independent 100-vial drawers, the FX stack offers built-in redundancy to help ensure workflow continuity even if one drawer requires service2.
This modular design supports both centralized blood culture processing and decentralized incubation strategies—giving your laboratory the flexibility to adapt as testing demands evolve2.
The BD BACTEC™ FX40 Instrument offers efficient, high-quality blood culture processing in a compact 40-vial system—perfect for smaller laboratories or decentralized settings3.
Its streamlined design makes it ideal for emergency departments, ICUs, and remote locations, enabling faster initiation of specimen incubation and supporting more timely clinical decision-making3.

Ergonomic design
The BD BACTEC™ FX system is engineered for ease of use and ergonomic comfort. The FX stack design allows effortless access without unnecessary bending or reaching, while its compact footprint—just two floor tiles wide—delivers exceptional vial capacity without consuming valuable lab space2.
Vial-activated workflow
The FX instrument has a unique Vial Activated Workflow that follows the actions of the user that automatically recognize when a vial is loaded or removed2.
‘Bottle Anywhere’ technology
The indicator lights are easy to see. When a positive vial is removed, all other non-positive lights go out, reducing chance of human error in pulling the wrong vial2.
On-board barcode scanner
Enjoy seamless vial loading with an embedded barcode scanner that automatically activates when the drawer opens—no extra steps. Its one-handed scanning makes loading and unloading fast and effortless, and any vial can be placed in any open position, keeping workflows smooth and flexible2.
Integrated computer touch screen
The BD BACTEC™ FX Stack features an integrated computer screen positioned directly beneath the top scanner for effortless visibility. Intuitive “gas gauge” indicators instantly show which drawers have available space—eliminating the need to open doors and streamlining your workflow2.
Distinctive, informative status lights
The system’s distinctive status lights provide clear, color-coded alerts visible from across the room—instantly signaling positive vials or completed bottles to keep workflows moving efficiently2.
