For more than a century, microbial quality control has been a manual process of counting cultures and transcribing data to secondary data systems. This process is prone to errors that can compromise the integrity of results and the security of both data and samples.
By removing manual labor, and the inevitable human error, automated testing with the Growth Direct™ System maximizes data integrity, data security, plus sample security.
Data integrity
Growth Direct optimizes data integrity in four key ways:
By maintaining accurate, complete, and intact records within their original context, Growth Direct ensures the trustworthiness of data. Plus, data reside in permanent form for the lifetime of the record, easily accessible to authorized users. This allows microbiologists to analyze trends over time for timely, cost-saving decision-making.
Data and sample security
Most data and sample security issues result from manual operations lacking the necessary processes and controls.
The Growth Direct system streamlines processes and maximizes control. It also helps securely protect samples.
Traditionally, QC personnel have had to walk samples across massive pharmaceutical campuses and suit up before entering clean rooms. Growth Direct can be located at the production site, and samples can be taken directly off the manufacturing line. This enhances both security and efficiency. Once loaded into Growth Direct, uniquely labeled cassettes are protected by an authorized access system with an audit trail.
Data integrity and security are critical to effective, efficient, compliant microbial QC. Learn more about how automated microbial QC with the Growth Direct System helps you maximize both.
