Automated Plate Assessment System (APAS) for Urine Analysis Industry
Valuable time spent on negative culture plates; Up to 70%1 of urine screening plates are typically negative or contain non-significant microbial growth. However, these cultures still demand time spent analysing them by highly trained staff who are usually overworked.
APAS Independence Urine Analysis Module
The APAS Independence Urine Analysis Module brings intelligent, automated culture plate reading to labs.
Automatically removes negative culture plates
It provides the ability to automatically report negative and non-significant culture plates, removing them from the workflow.
Improves lab efficiency
This solution facilitates optimal resource utilisation by allowing highly skilled staff to ignore the majority of negative results and focus on more complex cases.
