3P® SMART PLATES

EM-BRACE TRACEABILITY

ACCURACY IS EVERYTHING

When conducting routine microbial surveillance of pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities, accuracy can empower you to make smarter decisions, meaning products, employees, and patients remain safe, and your business operates in compliance with regulatory guidelines. When it comes to Environmental Monitoring (EM), state-of-the-art culture media is a necessity when you’re counting on traceability and reliability.

At bioMérieux, we take our partners’ concerns seriously. Offering the possibility to track and easily read EM samples enhances compliance and data integrity of the results.

The 3P® legacy was built on the pillars of Proven Pharmaceutical Performance. Designed to be the cornerstone of our complete solutions, 3P® ENTERPRISE and 3P® CONNECT, 3P® SMART PLATES are the first step of the journey to digitalization and automation of your EM process.

3P® SMART PLATES offer a reliable level of traceability as they are pre-barcoded with GS1 compliant barcodes to easily identify EM samples. The addition of the LOCKSURE® system and its clear design will make results more reliable.

Benefits

  • Rely on robust and compliant EM data thanks to high-quality yet compendial culture media, validated for use in isolators.
  • Decrease your disposal cost and minimize the incoming tests thanks to product long shelf-life, high batch size and monolots.
  • Avoid manually sticking labels on your dishes, improve and facilitate your data management, traceability, and data integrity: 3P® SMART plates are pre-barcoded with a unique ID number, compliant with internationally recognized GS1 standards.
  • Secure handling & transport with the LOCKSURE® system: ensure sample integrity from sampling to incubation with no risk of locking error thanks to the unique locking position.
  • Optimize your automated or manual reading thanks to the clear design of our plates, reducing reading errors and decreasing the time spent for enumerating. With more than 99.9% of its surface visible, the clear design offers an optimized reading of colonies, improving the visual inspection directly through the lid.
  • Enhance your peace of mind with the flexible storage conditions (2-25°C), and benefit from a secure and continuous supply thanks to our 2 manufacturing sites in France and in the USA providing with equivalent 3P® SMART culture media.
  • Entirely digitalize EM to streamline process and reduce human error through 3P® CONNECT and 3P® ENTERPRISE.
