Rapid Micro Biosystems has developed pioneering products to address the significant need for rapid microbial analysis in industrial microbiology.

In 2007, the company will launch the Growth Direct™ System with associated disposable test cassettes, for rapid, quantitative and sensitive microbial testing. This automated system is simple, user-friendly, and cost-effective to implement. Growth Direct is the first and only system in the market to rapidly detect bacterial, mold, and fungal contaminants without destroying the microbes - critical to enable subsequent identification. Growth Direct has broad utility, with applications that will enable customers in the Pharmaceutical, Biotech, Beverage and Personal Care markets to realize significant productivity gains with cost savings generated from decreased quarantine inventory and reduced product risk.

Rapid Micro Biosystems is a privately-held company headquartered in Bedford, Massachusetts.
