Rapid Bacterial Detection and Enumeration - Why wait days, when you can have results in 4 minutes?

MicroPRO Rapid Microbiology Detection Instrument
 

 
 


A New Standard in Rapid Microbiology:

MicroPRO is the next generation instrument following the highly successful RBD3000.  It is a uniquely designed low-level microbe detector that has been developed using the principles of flow cytometry. The system is a combination of automated sample preparation system, fluidic system, sample handling system, and optical bench with data processing electronics, and software.

Find out how the technology works.

Features:

  • Rapid enumeration of viable microorganisms in 4 minutes

  • Accurate and reproducible results

  • Detection limit of 10 cfu/mL

  • Broad dynamic range: 101 to 106 cfu/mL

  • Fully-automated preparation and analysis of up to 42 samples

  • High throughput analysis of up to 20 samples per hour

  • Results equivalent to conventional plate count method

  • Eliminates technician variability and subjectivity

  • Robust design that is easy to use, allowing its placement in manufacturing, R&D and QC departments

  • Technical training and support provided by Advanced Analytical Technologies
