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.”
