Workstation Automation
Workstation automation provides flexibility to laboratories, enabling them to build solutions that meet their needs and workflow. The APAS Independence provides a unique solution for culture plate reading that can be easily integrated alongside the laboratories existing technology. With a choice of analysis modules available the APAS Independence can be customised to address the needs of your laboratory.
Clever Automation for Reading Culture Plates
The APAS Independence overcomes the plate assessment bottleneck and streamlines laboratory workflow by sorting plates into three categories: positive, negative or no significant growth, and those requiring further review. It reads culture plates three times faster than a microbiologist, screening 200 plates per hour, achieving major time savings for busy labs and facilitating faster results. By removing the negatives, the APAS Independence enables microbiologists to focus their expertise on the significant growth plates.
Clever Use of AI and Digital Imaging
As the demand for diagnostic testing grows, driven both by a rise in chronic disease and a shortage of qualified scientists, microbiology labs are being asked to do more with fewer resources. While very large laboratories are moving towards end-to-end automation, many labs are unable to justify the capital outlay. Responding to this gap in the market, the APAS Independence was created to provide a clever modular solution for the modern microbiology lab.
Clever Reporting with Trusted Results
The APAS Independence automatically produces informative reports that feature sample specific information and high-quality images for review assisting laboratories with their workload. Trials of automation in microbiology labs using the APAS Independence confirms it delivers reliable results and is at least as accurate as a highly trained scientist.
