Successfully handle high test volumes with automated processes that are fast, accurate, and fully digitized.
The sheer volume of water that must be tested and analyzed for quality control (QC) can pose serious challenges in QC labs—particularly when sample enumeration, tracking, and reporting are based on manual processes that can be highly subjective, time-consuming, and prone to human error.
The Growth Direct® System overcomes these challenges with novel growth-based technology that features advanced robotic automation, powerful optical imaging, algorithmic vision analysis, and data management. The result is fast, accurate enumeration and digitization that can boost productivity in your microbial QC lab while eliminating manual sample analysis and recordkeeping.
The Growth Direct® System automates the incubation and reading of test samples, detecting microbial growth at a much earlier stage of colony development. Because testing is non-destructive and requires no reagents, positive samples can continue to incubate and be sent to a microbial identification system for further analysis.
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. Learn how the rapid automated method (RAM) can help you create a high performing, digitized QC Micro Lab by reviewing our Lab Optimization Master Series.
