Systems and methods are provided for providing a timeline representing a culture media protocol for a culture medium. Providing a timeline representing a culture media protocol can include receiving the culture media protocol for the culture media generating the timeline on a user interface based on the culture media protocol, monitoring time on the timeline, receiving one or more culture media images related to the culture media protocol, associating each of the one or more culture media images with a position on the timeline that correlates to a time at which the culture media image was captured, and generating a selectable marker for each culture media image associated with the timeline, the selectable marker being aligned with the position on the timeline that correlates to the time at which the culture media image was captured.

Certain aspects relate to encryption systems and methods for medical devices. A medical device can include a connectivity module for establishing a communication channel with a cloud system. After obtaining a test result, the device can generate an unencrypted data block comprising a device identifier and an encrypted data block comprising a serial number of the device and the test result using an encryption key associated with the device identifier. The device can securely send the test result to the cloud system by transmitting the unencrypted data block and the encrypted data block to the cloud system via the communication channel.

Systems and methods are provided for selecting colony locations. Selecting colony locations can include determine a location of a selection tool on a culture plate image, determining a location of a potential source of error on the culture plate image, comparing the location of the selection tool to the location of the potential source of error; and determining an error when the location of the selection tool overlays the location of the potential source of error.

An automated system for identifying in a biological sample microorganisms and their antimicrobial susceptibility (AST). The system provided an automated platform for preparing, from a single biological sample, inoculates for both ID and AST. The system loads a plate for ID testing as samples are being prepared for AST testing. The system tracks the sample and the inoculates from the samples to link the test results to the sample and the patients from whom the sample was obtained.
