  • The upgrade adds a universal in-feed for standard 90-millimetre Petri dishes used in ISO-compliant laboratories and portable magazines holding up to 24 plates.
  • A compressed-air lid-separation mechanism addresses stuck plates, while an on-device screen shows system status and classification outcomes in real time.
  • Reshape states that the system can image and classify up to 450 Petri dishes per hour while preserving a digital audit trail for LIMS or ELN integration.

Reshape Biotech combines automated laboratory imaging hardware with AI analysis and workflow software for microbiology research and quality control.
