The Growth DirectTM System consists of an automated imaging instrument that analyzes user-prepared proprietary consumables called Growth CassettesTM. The system and consumables were designed to optimize test performance and ease-of-use. In addition to rapid enumeration of microbes compared to the culture method, a major attribute of the Growth DirectTM System is the automated handling and analysis capability that reduces hands-on time required by technical staff.
Features of the Growth DirectTM System
Rapid Micro Biosystems advanced imaging technology delivers microbial enumeration results days sooner than current culture tests. Our non-destructive test is compatible with all microbial identification systems.
This results in manufacturing cost savings and increased productivity for manufacturers!
Benefits of the Growth DirectTM system
Rapid enumeration with the Growth Direct system enables manufacturers to make timely cost saving decisions and reduce inventory carrying expenses by providing results days sooner than the current test method.
Savings derived from faster test turnaround include the following:
The result of using Growth Direct is a projected positive return on investment in as little as one year. The test addresses all major applications in pharmaceutical microbiology including: water, environmental (surface & air), in-process bioburden and final product testing.
