Water Quality

Innovative Automation in Plate and Cell Counting
Precision and efficiency in water quality assessment are paramount. MIPAR is revolutionizing plate and cell counting processes, delivering unparalleled accuracy through advanced image analysis. With our software, users have transformed a time-consuming, error-prone manual process into a streamlined, automated workflow that ensures the reliability of water quality tests.
 
Challenges in Manual Counting
In water quality testing, the accuracy of plate and cell counts is critical. Users face several challenges with manual counting, including the time required and the difficulty of consistently counting small colonies, differentiating between subtle color variations, and handling colonies that spread across the plate. These challenges were further compounded by variations in plate appearances due to differences in thickness and swirling patterns.
 
MIPAR’s Automated Solution
To overcome these challenges, users collaborated with MIPAR Image Analysis to implement an automated counting solution. The process began with optimizing the image acquisition setup, ensuring high-quality, consistent images that would be free of shadows and artifacts. Using this setup, users are able to enhance the contrast of colonies, making them easier to detect and count.
 
With the image acquisition in place, MIPAR's powerful image analysis software took over. A custom recipe was developed to accurately segment and count colonies, and this recipe could be applied automatically to batches of images, significantly reducing analysis time and increasing throughput.
 
Benefits of MIPAR in Water Quality Testing
By implementing MIPAR, users have achieved significant time savings in plate and cell counting, improved the accuracy of their water quality assessments, and eliminated the variability associated with manual counting. The automation provided by MIPAR ensures that users can maintain the highest standards in their microbiological analysis, delivering reliable and reproducible results.
 
Why Choose MIPAR
User decision to partner with MIPAR was driven by our software’s ability to combine high accuracy with cost-effectiveness. Additionally, MIPAR's adaptability to different stages of validation and its capacity to grow with a lab's evolving needs made it the ideal choice for enhancing their water quality assessment processes.
