APAS Independence is designed for its ease of use. Simply initiate a session and walk away while the APAS Independence autonomously reads, interprets, sorts and validates results - automatically.
Features
- Sample collection Collect samples using your processes and media.
- End-point reading Culture plates are bulk-loaded into the APAS instrument following incubation.
- Imaging system chamber High quality, reproduceable images of culture plates are captured.
- Uniform lighting A custom and patented design ensures the image is free from reflective interferences and representative of a plate-in-hand.
- Image quality Every image is checked for integrity and simple daily QC checks ensure the system is performing within specification.
- Intelligent sorting AI-algorithms automatically interpret microbial growth and plates are sorted into neat stacks for further processing.
- High through-put The instrument can automatically process 200 culture plates per hour — without manual intervention — 3 times the speed of manual handling.
- Real-time reporting Each result is sent to the LIMS in real-time as it is processed, enabling a faster turnaround time for reporting.
