Transform Your SBA Workflow: Achieve Unprecedented Speed and Accuracy

The SBA Software Module is designed to revolutionise the reading of Serum Bactericidal Assay plates, delivering significant time savings and unmatched accuracy to analysts. By automating the labour-intensive process of manually counting colonies, this powerful add-on module ensures that critical vaccine evaluation and clinical research based on SBA results are consistently reliable, rapid, and reproducible.

 

Precision

This specialised software features a customisable SBA frame that can be fully adjusted to fit various plate formats, including multiple columns and rows up to a $12\times 12$ grid. The module automatically identifies and counts colonies within each sector of the assay, overcoming the subjectivity and fatigue associated with manual counting. This efficient, image-based analysis provides accurate counts for determining the bactericidal activity against controls.

 

Streamline

The SBA module add-on integrates seamlessly into the ProtoCOL 3 software, transforming the traditional workflow from manual counting and transcription to a simple, automated process. After imaging, the module provides an accurate count for each sector, which can be easily reviewed and manually edited if necessary. Results are then instantly transferred into a professional, organised report, ready for review or further statistical analysis using an optional UNISTAT package.

 

Compliant

As an integrated part of the ProtoCOL 3 system, the SBA Module fully supports the highest regulatory standards, including 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance. Every detail, including the image of the SBA plate, system configuration, and any count edits, is recorded in a secure database with a complete audit trail. This robust documentation is essential for ensuring data integrity and supporting vaccine licensure and regulatory submissions.
