More Confidence, Less Cost, Faster Release

When three-day bioburden detection times limited expansion of high-growth product lines, a leading consumer packaged goods (CPG) company turned to Rapid Micro Biosystems for a customized solution. They found it in the automated Growth Direct^® System, achieving benefits such as:

• An industry-leading 24-hour detection time
• 66% wait reduction, enabling continuous production
• Over $70 million saved annually on warehousing
• Reduced human error
• Improved accuracy of counts for microbial contaminants
• Decreased risk of bacterial contamination

Shorter detection times and greater confidence in consumer product quality meant the company could ship directly from the manufacturing line and release product before it reached store shelves. That eliminated costly post-production warehousing, resulting in annual savings over $70 million. Equally important, removing the QC bottleneck meant expanded production capacity for the company's high-demand brands. Installing the Growth Direct^® System at three manufacturing sites even made it possible to test all product SKUs globally and introduce continuous production for greater flexibility.
