What IT infrastructure is required for SepsiTest™-UMD and Micro-Dx™?
IT infrastructure
The required IT infrastructure is
quite small:
- a software to view (and if required edit) sequences, e.g.,
Chromas
- internet access for the BLAST search
- space on the server is quite small, sequencing files are
between 200 and 300 kb
- depending on the labs’ workflow:
software for report/LIMS/etc.
