7 reasons why

 

Microtechnix and EMMA are Transforming Microbiology QC

 

Our goal is simple: to make your decision easier by showing how EMMA — and the people behind it — can help you build and sustain a lab that meets the highest standards, while bringing efficiency and compliance to every aspect of your microbiology workflows.

1. Compliance from day one

Audits and inspections should never cause unnecessary stress. EMMA is fully validated,
already accepted by leading pharmaceutical companies, and built around 21 CFR Part 11 / EU Annex 11 standards. Every action is digitally traceable, ensuring confidence in any inspection.

Designed according to ALCOA+ principles, EMMA delivers complete data integrity and audit-readiness, without manual documentation effort. With Microtechnix’s experience, you gain both compliant technology and a partner to help you demonstrate compliance with ease.

2. Accuracy and sterility that leave no doubt

In microbiology QC, even a single false negative or contamination event can cause regulatory concerns and costly delays. Unlike traditional systems that require Petri dish lids to be removed, EMMA captures 100% of the agar surface with the lid on.

This innovation means that molds and spreaders stay contained, preventing contamination risks and avoiding unnecessary interruptions in QC workflows. Every image is representative, and no edge colony goes unnoticed.

Backed by Microtechnix’s expertise, you can trust that results are both accurate and safe.

3. Seamless fit with validated workflows, fast implementation

EMMA is designed to integrate effortlessly into your existing microbiology QC processes, without disrupting validated workflows.

Barcode-driven workflows, gloved-hand operation, and high-throughput readiness ensure EMMA fits naturally into daily routines. Its compact benchtop design supports easy scaling, even in limited spaces, and is compatible with all Petri dish types and media. Performance Qualification (PQ) can be completed in under two weeks. From order to validated system in use in less than 16 weeks, EMMA delivers rapid value with minimal disruption.


4. Time and resources freed for what matters most

EMMA assists human operators, by automatically triaging plates so your team can focus on what matters most: reviewing positive plates. It removes bottlenecks, reduces manual errors, and integrates seamlessly with LIMS, hereby accelerating release and reducing stress.

5. Consistency across sites, backed by global support

Whether you scale from one site to many, Microtechnix ensures comparable and reproducible outcomes thanks to its autocalibration routines. This results in operational continuity & limited (re)validation needs, all supported by our global service network.


6. A partner for your digital transformation

With EMMA, every plate becomes a traceable, digital record that is fully compliant and securely stored within your own environment. Validated vision AI automates detection and classification, providing objective, reproducible results across every plate. These results are consistent, reviewable, and ready to audit at any time. Microtechnix provides training, integration and expertise to help your lab embrace digital QC with confidence, at your own pace and under your full control.


7. Future-ready microbiology today

EMMA lays the foundation for a fully digital QC workflow. One that is ready for future regulatory expectations, AI-assisted insights, and seamless data connectivity. With continuous innovation from Microtechnix, your lab stays aligned with where pharmaceutical QC is headed, not just where it is today.

Microtechnix doesn’t just deliver a system; we stand beside you to ensure lasting performance, compliance and confidence at every stage of your digital journey.
