How a Japanese fish paste manufacturer improved efficiency with Smart Dilutor W

A leading Japanese company specializing in fish paste products has been using IUL’s Gravimetric Dilutors models (the “System Dilutor” and “Smart Dilutor W” ) for over a decade. Before introducing the System Dilutor, their microbiology testing process faced several challenges:

🔹 Labor-Intensive Preparation – Staff had to manually prepare 90ml of diluent and carefully weigh 10g of each sample, which was both time-consuming and required a high level of precision.

🔹 Accuracy & Sterility Risks – Manual handling increased the risk of human error, affecting both measurement accuracy and sample sterility.

With efficiency and productivity in mind, the company sought a solution that would simplify the process and reduce training time for new employees.

Atomating Sample Preparation with Smart Dilutor W

Over a decade ago, the company introduced the System Dilutor, IUL’s gravimetric dilutor and did not hesitate to get the newest model, Smart Dilutor W, when it was released.

Here’s how they transformed their workflow:

✔ Eliminated Manual Weighing & Dilution – The automated system precisely prepares and dilutes samples, eliminating the need for manual measurements.

✔ Reduced Daily Work Time by 60 Minutes – Skipping repetitive manual tasks significantly cut down total daily workload, allowing staff to focus on other important lab processes.

✔ Minimized Human Error & Contamination Risks – Automation improved accuracy and sterility, ensuring more reliable test results.

✔ Easy Training & Seamless Operation – New staff could start using the system quickly, minimizing training time and improving overall efficiency.

‘’The company’s laboratory manager shared that by incorporating the Smart Dilutor W to their workflow, they were able to reduce daily work time by 60 minutes.’’

A More Productive and Reliable Lab

For over 10 years, the company has relied on IUL Gravimetric Dilutors to optimize its microbiology testing. With the latest Smart Dilutor W, they have further enhanced efficiency, saving valuable time while maintaining high accuracy and sterility.

Now an indispensable part of their lab operations, the Smart Dilutor W continues to support their commitment to quality and productivity, ensuring smooth and reliable testing for years to come.
