Microbe
Estimating a Liquid Culture's Density of Microorganisms
Pharma AI · Microbiology · Lab Automation
Overview
Microbe is an AI-powered microbial colony counting platform that automates the analysis of Petri plates in pharmaceutical, food safety, and research laboratories. Using high-resolution imaging and an intelligent colony detection algorithm, Microbe replaces manual counting with fast, accurate, and fully auditable results. Each Petri plate is uniquely barcoded for end-to-end traceability, and the system integrates directly with LIMS for seamless data flow. Capable of scanning over 1,000 Petri plates per day and reducing documentation effort by 95%, Microbe dramatically accelerates QC throughput while minimising human error. The platform is US FDA 21 CFR Part 11 compliant with a complete audit trail and online data management — making it fully audit-ready for regulatory inspections.
