Microbiology Automation

SUPERNOVA, endorsed by Mars Global and Bureau Veritas NA, stands out as the world's first fully automated microbiology pre-incubation and media preparation system. This groundbreaking system offers comprehensive automation and integration, ensuring complete process traceability from sample reception through to incubation.

Key Features of the SUPERNOVA:

  1. Full Automation and Integration:
    • Automates routine laboratory tasks, including sample handling, media creation and addition, and homogenization.
    • Provides seamless traceability with RFID integration, capturing timestamps, area/zone data, and offering wireless data access.
  2. Innovative Media Formulation:
    • Eliminates the need for traditional culture media production and bulk handling, simplifying laboratory processes.
    • Features point-of-use media formulation, directly dispensing sterile media powders into the sample bag at target temperatures.
  3. Efficiency and Cost Reduction:
    • Enhances productivity by streamlining processes and reducing the need for manual intervention.
    • Collaborative studies with Bureau Veritas Labs demonstrate significant labor cost reductions, ranging from 2 to 5 head counts, depending on sample volumes.
  4. Ergonomic and Safety Improvements:
    • Reduces repetitive strain injuries by eliminating the manual handling of bulky samples.
    • Confirmed ergonomic benefits and productivity improvements in post-incubation primary enrichment transfers through in-lab studies.
  5. Sustainability:
    • A sustainable choice for laboratories aiming to minimize their environmental impact.

The SUPERNOVA sets a new standard in laboratory automation, offering a comprehensive solution that boosts productivity, cuts costs, and ensures consistent, reliable results, while also prioritizing worker safety and environmental sustainability.
