Das Autoselect‐System – ein Automatensystem zur Selektion von Antibiotikaproduzenten VIII. Zur Effektivität des Automatensystems

Abstract

The advantages of the Autoselect‐system are explained. They are offered by a higher speed of all manipulations, by a significantly better accuracy, by getting more informations and by easier physical labour. In the most cases the automated work can be done in a fourth till a tenth of the time needed for manual handlings. The capacity of the machines amounts 5 000 to 30 000 colonies/samples per day. Special problems as well as possibilities for a further increase of the efficiency are discussed.
