Automated Culture Plate Reading
Using the innovative APAS technology, the APAS Independence is a stand-alone automated culture plate reading instrument that not only screens plates, but also sorts them into significant and non-significant growth at a rate of 200 plates per hour. The APAS Independence saves you time by automatically reporting plates showing no growth and/or no significant growth, thereby removing them out of the workflow, freeing up resources to focus on other tasks.
With a variety of Analysis Modules supporting numerous plate media and specimen types, laboratories are able to build a tailored solution suitable for their workflow.
