GeneDisc System

The GeneDisc rapid microbiology system enables accelerated microbiological analysis for pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications. The simple-to-use, robust platform — which is based on established quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology — provides a significant time savings over traditional incubation sampling methods. This can allow materials and final products to be released more quickly, improving production efficiency and reducing inventories. Typical culture-based methods may need at least five days to yield results, but the GeneDisc system generates comparable results for most microbiological applications in just a few hours. Bar-coded data input and fewer operator-dependent steps help to ensure reliable results and reduce the potential for error.
