Serial Diluter Receives UKAS Accreditation for TVC Sample Processing

摘要

Inlabtec AG reports how 20/30 Labs Ltd, a leading accredited UK microbiological testing laboratory specialising in the analysis of waters, has received approval by the United Kingdom Accreditation Body (UKAS) for the Serial Diluter for routine sample processing. As an established contract laboratory, 20/30 Labs receives hundreds of water samples each day for microbiological analysis such as total viable counts (TVC). These water samples require serial dilutions and previously were processed using universal test tubes pre-prepared with 9 ml of diluent. Due to a period of continuous growth and expansion 20/30 Labs evaluated technical solutions that would automate this dilution step and save time on both media preparation and sample processing. The Inlabtec serial diluter met these requirements and so 20/30 Labs decided to validate the use and performance of the system in-house.
