A Summary of the BioPhorum Operations Group (BPOG) Data on a Comparison of Automated Colony Counting Systems
In March 2022 the BioPhorum Operations Group (BPOG) published an article in the PDA Journal of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology; A Systematic Approach for the Evaluation, Validation, and Implementation of Automated Colony Counting Systems. This article covers robust data provided by several industry experts from leading pharmaceutical manufacturing companies, providing a firsthand view into the benefits of implementing automation for routine quality control microbiology testing: specifically focusing on automated sample handling, incubation, and enumeration.
This short, on-demand webinar (less than 15 minutes) offers a summary of the article providing the highlights and key impacts when implementing automation into a quality control manufacturing environment.
Join Vid Malhotra as he takes a deep dive into the comparison of the automated technologies compared in the article; autofluorescence systems (such as our Growth Direct® (GD)) to HD camera and illumination only systems.
