We were able to eliminate four days of wait time on finished goods. Using Celsis, we streamlined our manufacturing cycle so our clients can deliver their product to market faster.

CoValence Laboratories
The Celsis [system]...confirms the absence of micro-organisms in 24 hours, so we know that our products are in-spec and ready for release sooner. This, in turn, also makes our production processes leaner and more cost efficient.

"We were able to shorten the process cycle so we had [not only] savings of time, but also warehouse space."

"The AutoSampler [integrated with the Celsis Innovate] provides us with a high volume, rapid and efficient testing system for our dairy products. It not only allows us to meet our customer demands more effectively, as we can release product sooner, but also ensures our product quality and safety. The barcode reader provides a perfect track and trace system for our controlled samples. In addition, we have found that the AutoSampler has a lot of flexibility as it is able to run test samples from different packaging designs, including cartons of varying volumes, bottles and coffee milk cups."

"Using Celsis, we now get results in one to two days, rather than three or four days. Since the technology allows us to get micro results in half the time, we are able to release products and ship products pretty much as needed."

Bringing the Celsis system in house has not only enabled our Quality Control department to complete their tasks quicker, it has also had a direct and positive impact on the customer service CoValence strives to deliver.

The Celsis Advance and Amplified-ATP technology [AMPiScreen] provides significant advantages to Unilever. It allows us to screen and confirm the absence of micro-organisms in 24 hours, so we know that our products are in-spec and ready for release sooner.

"Using Celsis, we now get results in one to two days, rather than three or four days. I also liked the science behind Celsis, and it was already very well-proven at the time."

"The technology has been out there and Celsis has done a great job improving the technology over the past few years."

"The FDA's positive view of our initial validation plan was enough to convince skeptics within our company's quality department that RMM deserved further attention. The two-tiered approach with RMMs is extremely effective. Ninety-five percent of the time, our products tested negative for contamination and we could release those products within 18-48 hours. For the five percent of cases where we found a positive reading, we would need to revert back to traditional testing methods for end product release. This way, we only had to delay release on a very small percentage of our products."

"The new Celsis Innovate.im software allows us to more efficiently manage test results from our complex operations; thereby allowing us to ensure the highest standards of product quality for our customers. It is also compatible with our LIMS system, allowing for efficient data transfer to our quality assurance testing database."

"One reason we selected Celsis is that it provides pass-fail results, and we can set it up to define what the pass-fail will be."

"Nutricia Advanced Medical Nutrition is dedicated to providing our customers with the highest standard medical nutrition products. Since 2006, the Celsis AutoSampler has been part of the process to help us ensure these product standards, at the same time as providing us with a high throughput, rapid and efficient testing system."

"My advice to a company that is hesitant about adopting rapid methods would be: it's not as tough as you think. The instrumentation is easy to qualify, the methodology is easy to validate and the results are reliable."

"For Smith + Nephew, Corby, the change to rapid testing methods has proved a great success. In the microbiology laboratory, the testing techniques have proved easy to use and technician training has proved easy to accomplish, even where the new technicians have no formal training in microbiology."

"If you are able to take one method and apply it across a range of products then you end up standardizing and simplifying the operations."
