Food & Water Laboratory Automation – Solutions by AAA Lab Service
At AAA Lab Service, we help food and water laboratories work faster, more accurately, and more efficiently. With over 20 years of experience, we design and build smart lab machines that automate routine tasks so your team can focus on more important work. Everything we create is developed in-house, and we also offer custom-made solutions to fit your exact needs.
Why automate your food & water lab?
Save time and boost productivity
Automation allows your lab to process more samples in less time, without hiring extra staff. For example, our Kitty robot can handle over 360 Petri dishes per hour, helping your team stay ahead of tight deadlines.
Improve accuracy and consistency
Manual tasks often lead to small mistakes or variation. Our machines ensure the same high-quality results every time by automating steps like pouring agar, spreading samples, and counting colonies.
Lower costs and waste
With exact dosing, less agar waste, and fewer failed plates, you’ll reduce costs and make the most of your materials.
Free up your team
Let the machines handle the repetitive work. Your trained staff can focus on tasks that really need their expertise, like analyzing results or solving complex issues.
Our products for food & water laboratories
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 solutions – Built just for your lab
Not every lab works the same way. That’s why we offer custom solutions, whether it’s adapting one of our products or creating a brand-new machine from scratch.
We’ll work closely with you to understand your process, design the right setup, and build it in-house. This makes sure the machine fits your workflow perfectly and is easy for your team to use.
Built to last – Reliable and sustainable
Our machines are made to last. Many of them work for over 15 years with regular maintenance. We also design machines so they can be upgraded later. No need to replace the whole system!
Need spare parts or a component that’s no longer available? We can make it ourselves in our own workshop, keeping your system running smoothly for years to come.
