| Aseptic sample collection |
- Reduce operational costs by reducing false positives
|
| Based on approved MF technique |
- Consistent with regulated procedures for membrane filtration
|
| Compact (15 lbs; 7″x8″x12″) |
- Enable testing in: the field (at sampling site), mobile-lab vehicle, companies’ facility, or crowded laboratory with limited benchtop space
- Increase revenue by offering in-the-field testing services
|
| Sample volumes of 0.1mL to 1,000mL |
- Reduce equipment/material costs by removing the need for separate/additional equipment to process varying sample volumes
|
| Sample volume control |
- Increase productivity by automating liquid volume control
- Meet regulatory compliance requiring specific sample volume
|
| Minimal technical skill required |
- Reduce hiring/training costs and occurrence of human-borne errors
- Eliminate test readout errors and user-interpretation uncertainties
|
| 16-sample random access testing |
- Allows comparison studies and simultaneous sample testing
- Increase efficiencies with ability to begin or end tests without interrupting other tests in progress
|
| Reduced volume of materials |
- Save on cost/test or provide customers with competitive cost/test pricing
- Reduce operational costs by reducing the amount materials that need to be shipped, stored, decontaminated and disposed of
|
| Colony enumeration, identification, recovery |
- Automated presence/absence results reporting provides stakeholders with actionable information guiding timely, cost-saving decisions
- Increase efficiencies with automatic semi-quantitative results reporting and quantitative results reports via visual colony counting
- Subsequently isolate colonies for traditional biochemical confirmation and identification assays
|
| Proprietary MF assay cartridge (16mm – 47mm membrane filters) |
- Reduce labor and operational costs by reducing false positives
- Decrease test time via concentration of sample constituents
- Minimize risk of contamination with filtering, rinsing, culturing, and analysis all being completed in the enclosed assay cartridge.
- Transition between different size membranes depending on application/test requirement(s) reducing separate equipment costs
|
| LIMS compatible |
- Increase productivity with cost-effective laboratory management
|
| Self-contained incubator |
- Reduce equipment costs by not requiring separate incubation chamber
|
| Use standard vacuum source or portable peristaltic pump |
- Minimal costs to implement in laboratory environment
- Easily move and conduct MF tests in a mobile setting
