Innova   Innova is a highly advanced microbiology specimen processor. It automatically opens the specimen container, dips the loop or pipette to remove the sample, inoculates the appropriate media plate(s), streaks the plate(s) and applies a barcode label to the completed plate.   This innovative instrument will allow you to:   Process a variety of specimens with different protocols without ever needing to switch parts or change accessories Automatically switch specimen container types Walk away from the loaded system for up to 1 hour and leave it to carry out the task assigned Choose from a pre-loaded library of streak patterns or design your own Have confidence in your results and in subsequent diagnoses Product results faster and yet more consistently accurate Programme in your requirements using the intuitive touch-screen interface   Innova frees precious staff resources to carry out tasks of greater clinical value. With consistent, accurate and reproducible streaking every time, better isolation is achieved, which in turn assists technologists when reading, enumerating and sub-culturing specimens.     The days of sending back plates to be re-streaked are over     Interface with any LIS Innova can successfully interface with all major LIS interfaces. This allows the option of having patient name, age, gender, test code, and other information printed on the labels that are placed on completed media plates. However, Innova can also be used as a stand-alone, independent specimen processor.   No additional consumables The only consumable supplies required are nichrome loops and barcode paper. The loops last approximately 15,000 specimens and deliver substantial cost savings over disposable loops.   The smart investment With a small footprint, Innova fits easily into your laboratory set-up. It is the perfect solution for laboratories facing labour shortages or increasing volumes (or both!) Innova saves time and money and has a surprisingly short payback period.
