We conducted an interview with Masashi Itakura, Executive Officer and Managing Director of Pigeon, a leading company in childcare products, which was quick to adopt the rapid fully automated bacterial colony detection system "Microbio μ3D." The "Microbio μ3D" continuously monitors the shadows of colonies on petri dishes every 30 minutes using a CCD camera. By detecting changes in shadows not only by area but also by volume, it enables faster detection of colonies growing on the medium compared to visual observation. 【Implementation Results】 - Reduced the determination period for fungi in microbial limit tests from 3-4 days, resulting in a 50% reduction in factory inventory. - Reduced human error in quality inspections and standardized the inspection process. - Streamlined and systematized inspection tasks, allowing a focus on creative work such as product development. *Please download the interview article from our company website. *For product information, feel free to download the PDF or contact us.
