Food & Water Laboratory Automation – Solutions by AAA Lab Service
At AAA Lab Service, we specialize in laboratory automation for food and water testing. With more than 20 years of expertise, we design and build automated lab machines that take over repetitive tasks, so your team can focus on research and analysis. Every solution is developed in-house, and we also create custom automation systems tailored to your laboratory workflow.
Why automate your food and water laboratory?
Save time with automated sample processing
Automation makes it possible to process hundreds of samples per hour without hiring additional staff. For example, the Kitty plate inoculating robot can handle more than 360 Petri dishes every hour, ensuring maximum throughput for food and water testing labs.
Increase accuracy with automated lab systems
Manual handling often introduces small errors. Automated systems eliminate these inconsistencies by standardizing critical steps such as agar pouring, sample spreading, and colony counting.
Reduce costs and minimize waste
With precise dosing, less agar waste, and fewer failed plates, automation lowers material costs and ensures more efficient use of resources.
Let your experts focus on valuable work
Let machines take care of repetitive work. Your trained staff can then focus on higher-value activities such as interpreting results or solving complex microbiological challenges.
Automated laboratory products for food and water testing
Kitty – Plate inoculating robot
The Kitty automates the entire plate inoculation process in just 10 seconds per dish. It fills plates with agar, doses the sample, mixes it, cools it, adds a barcode, sorts the plates, and stacks them.
- Processes 360-480 dishes per hour
- Compact size (1.5 x 4 meters)
- Connects with LIMS systems for full traceability
- Already used by labs like SGS Netherlands, SGS Portugal, and ILS UK
Rosie – Automated spread plate machine
Rosie makes spread plating faster and more consistent. It's perfect for labs that use this method every day and want better results with less manual work.
Iris – AI colony counter
Iris is a smart machine that uses artificial intelligence to count colonies on Petri dishes. It’s fast, reliable, and can handle different types of plates.
Irina – Fully automated colony counter
For large labs, Irina counts colonies on up to 540 Petri dishes in around 90 minutes. You don’t need to watch it work, it runs on its own.
Amanda – Dilution and pipetting station
Amanda makes sample prep easier by automating dilution and pipetting in one system. It’s accurate, quick, and easy to use.
Nicky – Pipetting station
Nicky handles small-volume pipetting tasks with speed and precision - ideal for labs that need consistent 0.1 to 1.0 ml sample prep.
Other Tools and Add-ons
We also offer helpful lab tools like:
Each tool is designed to improve part of your workflow and can be combined into a full system.
Custom automation solutions for laboratories
Every lab is different. That is why we offer custom laboratory automation solutions. Whether adapting an existing machine or developing a new automation system from scratch, we create setups that match your exact processes.
From design to production, everything happens in-house. This guarantees systems that integrate smoothly into your workflow and are easy for your staff to use.
