The sheer volume of water that must be tested and analyzed for Quality Control (QC) can create headaches for busy labs. Sample enumeration, tracking and reporting is typically a subjective, time-consuming, manual process that is prone to human error.
The Growth Direct™ System overcomes these challenges. This Rapid Microbial Method (RMM) integrates novel growth-based technology with advanced automation. The synergy of these innovations enables fast, accurate enumeration, Digitization boosts QC lab productivity, eliminating manual sample analysis and enhancing data integrity.
The Growth Direct System automates the incubation and reading of test samples. The system is able to detect microbial growth at a much earlier stage of colony development. Because testing is non-destructive, requiring no reagents, positive samples can continue to incubate and be sent to a microbial identification system for further analysis.
Rapid Microbial Methods speed enumeration
The Growth Direct System automates QC Micro testing and digitizes results to ensure data integrity. The system can export result reports or securely link to a two-way laboratory information management system (LIMS) to completely eliminate manual data entry and drive productivity.
