Clever Culture Systems provides intelligent automation solutions to microbiology laboratories. Based in Adelaide, South Australia, the Company has developed a best-in-class technology, the APAS® Independence, using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning software to automate the imaging, analysis, and interpretation of pharmaceutical and clinical microbiology culture plates. The technology remains the only US FDA-cleared AI technology for automated culture plate reading.
Artificial Intelligence by Microbiologists for Microbiologists
Clever Culture Systems products are designed for microbiologists by microbiologists, ensuring seamless integration into your workflow. Our validated APAS Independence automates and digitizes pharmaceutical environmental monitoring (EM) plate reading, reducing manual work while enhancing efficiency, data integrity, and compliance.
Automate with Confidence
APAS Independence is the first and only scientifically proven AI technology that automates and digitizes the reading of both settle (90mm) and contact (55mm) plates for EM on one platform - reducing manual processes, increasing data integrity and security.
In today’s highly regulated pharmaceutical manufacturing environment, data clarity and traceability are critical. The APAS Web User Interface (UI) digital review and reporting capabilities provide the visibility quality control teams need to confidently manage EM testing data. APAS Web UI allows results to be instantly reviewed from any computer or workstation on the laboratory network. With detailed per-plate images and reports, teams gain actionable insights without aggregated data masking potential issues. Standardized results output with a choice of format combined with LIMS integration supports audit readiness, strengthens traceability for investigations, and enables faster, more confident decision-making.
Users move beyond manual colony counting to an automated endpoint solution that’s purpose-built for GMP manufacturing:
- Complete validated solution, reads both 90mm (settle) and 55mm (contact) plates on one platform
- Improved accuracy and consistency of colony detection compared to manual method
- Scalable automation, high throughput (200 plates/hour) in a compact footprint
- Digital reporting, enhanced data integrity, and audit trails provide reliability through digital image analysis and LIMS connectivity
- No proprietary media required, compatible with most major media brands
By combining artificial intelligence, automation, and digital reporting with practical laboratory integration, APAS Independence elevates EM plate reading from a manual, labor-intensive task to a modern, intelligent quality function. The result is greater confidence in cleanroom control, improved compliance assurance, and faster, data-driven responses to contamination risks, directly supporting product quality and patient safety.
