Compared to traditional and alternative techniques, the Growth Direct(TM) System's benefits include:
·
Automation of error prone tasks
·
Non-destructive results
·
A simple validation process
·
Network integration
·
Rapid results
Through the creation of leaner, more efficient QC labs, these benefits have allowed several major pharmaceutical companies to increase their efficiency. Download your free copy to hear their stories!
