Petrifilm end-to-end solution reduces hands-on
enumeration time from 4 hours to 1 minute
LANSING,
Mich., June 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Neogen®
Corporation (NASDAQ: NEOG), an innovative leader in food safety
solutions, is helping high-volume food safety testing laboratories
implement a more efficient way to process quality indicator tests.
Today's launch of Neogen's Petrifilm® Automated Feeder will provide
industry-leading indicator testing processing capabilities that
build on 40 years of innovation across Petrifilm's portfolio.
The Petrifilm Automated Feeder works with existing Petrifilm
Plate Reader Advanced equipment to help labs efficiently process
microbial tests and meet food safety standards. It delivers
consistent colony counting and improves lab productivity by
automatically feeding and enumerating up to 300 Petrifilm Plates in
33 minutes, while integrating with existing lab workflows and
systems.
The system is specifically designed for high-volume food safety
testing labs processing more than 100,000 quality indicator tests
per year. With Neogen's automated system, technicians no longer
need to manually load plates into the reader or count and record
initial results. Eliminating these tasks adds capacity for these
labs, allowing more time for data analysis.
"This introduction is the latest step in the history of
Petrifilm innovation to help make labs more efficient and
productive," said John Adent,
President and CEO of Neogen. "By reducing the time burden on
technician staff, Neogen is helping labs evolve and efficiently
meet growing demands and to deliver safe, high-quality food, while
meeting testing requirements for food and ingredients. Neogen is
excited to be at the forefront of investments in innovation,
microbiology, and food safety to evolve the modern lab."
Preliminary Trials Demonstrate High ROI and Seamless
Integration
Neogen combines hardware, software, and trained AI systems to
deliver an end-to-end customer testing solution. Combined, the
feeder and Petrifilm Plate Reader Advanced help labs overcome
challenges associated with technician turnover, human error, and
time-intensive training for new staff. It allows teams to focus on
high-value tasks, automating other processes.
"The ability to load the feeder with up to 300 Petrifilm Plates
and then just walk away has been a great time-saver for us," said
Jon Hammond, supervisor, Midwest
Labs. "The integrated software allows us to export results directly
to our laboratory information management system. Now, we can spend
more time on analysis and less time loading plates."
