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.
