The use of biocalorimetry for clinical microbiology

Webinar with Dr. Andrej Trampuž, Infectious Diseases and Septic Surgery, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany.

Dr. Andrej Trampuž, one of the world’s leading researchers on joint infections, shares his insights on the advantages and applications of the calScreener™ in clinical microbiology research.

This webinar explores how biocalorimetry enables major advances in Periprosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) and Fracture-Related Infection (FRI) research — including its potential for rapid pathogen detection, pathogen identification, and antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

The presentation includes a comparison of time-to-detection in blood samples using biocalorimetry versus indirect CO₂ and colorimetric methods, demonstrating the calScreener’s high sensitivity and faster pathogen detection.
It also contrasts growth-based calorimetry with molecular methods, highlighting how calorimetry confirms treatment efficacy by detecting only live bacteria.
