Modernise Your Growth Promotion Testing with APAS® Independence
Agar-based methods remain a cornerstone of environmental monitoring in cleanrooms due to their broad utility and unmatched ability to detect viable microorganisms. The Growth Promotion Test (GPT) remains a regulatory requirement to verify the performance of each new batch of culture media. While the use of freeze-dried organism pellets has improved inoculation accuracy, colony enumeration is still largely performed manually, introducing variability and potential for human error. This technical note explores how the APAS Independence system leverages automation, artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced imaging techniques to streamline GPT workflows.
- Improved reliability and consistency
- Supports the skills of experienced microbiologists
- Minimal disruption to established procedures
