What our customers say

PetriEye BOX is and indispensable tool for microbiologists, researches and veterinarians who want to reliably document their microbiological testing and results.

“PetriEye has completely changed the way we approach infections. Instead of waiting days for lab results, we now know exactly which bacteria we’re dealing with and which antibiotic works — within 24 to 36 hours. This has reduced unnecessary antibiotic use and improved treatment outcomes in our patients.”

Dr. Zora Kučuković

DVM, Small Animal Practice

“In our daily work with cows and dogs, PetriEye has become an essential tool. The results are reliable, the procedure is simple, and the device is intuitive. It gives veterinarians in the field exactly what they need most — quick, accurate, and clear information to make the right therapeutic decision.”

Zamba Veterina

“Thanks to the PetriEye device, we’ve significantly reduced unnecessary antibiotic use in our clinic. Clients appreciate that we approach treatment professionally and responsibly. The device is easy to maintain and requires no additional staff — a perfect solution for any veterinary practice.”

Dr. Marko Topolovec

DVM (Vitrovet), Large Animal Practice

"PetriBox is an easy-to-use device that provides standardized illumination for our CHROMagar™ plates. Pictures captured with a phone can deliver publication-quality images that make colony color differences easier to observe. Moreover, different plates captured with PetriBox can be compared over time. PetriBox can help customers get the most out of CHROMagar™ media."

FAQ

Answers to the frequently asked questions.

Still have questions?

For assistance, please visit our Contact Us page.

How accurate are the results?

PetriEye uses standardized protocols and quality-control (QC) checkpoints. For most routine veterinary cases, accuracy is comparable to a POC laboratory; for rare pathogens or complex cases, we recommend confirmation in a reference laboratory.

What are the main limitations?

The system does not cover viral, fungal and anaerobic pathogens (these require specific methods). In mixed cultures, a repeat sampling or additional separation may be required; samples with low bacterial load can require longer incubation.

Is it aligned with principles of responsible antibiotics use (AMR)?

Yes. PetriEye supports targeted therapy and documented decision-making, reducing empirical antibiotic use. This contributes to better treatment outcomes and lowers the risk of resistance development.

What do I need besides the device?

You will use prepared media/plates, antibiogram panels, and QC materials. We supply everything directly or via partners; consumable bundles are available based on testing volume.

Purchasing model and licensing?

You can purchase the device with a maintenance subscription or opt for a bundled service (device + software + support). Volume discounts and tailored agreements are available for larger clinics and farms.

Does it work without internet?

No, a basic Wi-Fi or internet connection is required to run your analysis.

Can we export data?

Absolutely—PDF report export, CSV/Excel for data analyses, and API integrations with your systems (by arrangement) are supported. You can also set up automatic report delivery via email.

How demanding is maintenance?

Routine chamber cleaning and regular self-tests ensure reliable operation. A maintenance guide is included, and our support team is available for advice and process optimization.
