A Flexible System for Stepwise Automation of Microbial Testing of Drinking and Process Water.

Ambitions to improve the connectivity of devices to enable automation and digital representation of processes have been around for some time. Nevertheless, some companies, especially in life science and analytical science, tend to adopt these developments rather slowly. In the field of microbial analysis of drinking and process water, for example, a large part of the work is still carried out manually, although the high number of samples per day and the low fluctuation in work processes would predestine water analysis for a higher degree of automation.
