The PMEU has real and measurable benefits for end-users and their organisations:

1. Portability and Ease-of-Use

• Enrichment of microbes begins directly after collecting sample
• Can be used outdoors, in industrial facilities and in point-of-care situations or in normal laboratory environments
• Utilizes transport times
• Can be easily used by non-professionals

2. Optimal Enrichment Conditions

• Keeps the microbes in an optimal environment for their growth
• Suitable for aerobic and anaerobic microbes
• Controllable temperature and air/gas flow
• Optimal diffusion of gas and nutrition
• Sample quality preserved

3. Efficiency to the Detection Process

• Faster and more reliable results
• Shortens detection time by hours or even days depending on microbe
• Rapid recognition of organisms that are in the minority in a mixed population
• Improved indication of environmentally stressed microbes
• Enrichment of desired antigens or other biomolecules

4. Savings

• Saves work-time, materials and equipment compared to conventional methods
• Fast and reliable results mean faster decision-making
• Compatible with any existing final analysis or detection method

5. Safety

• Minimizes contamination risks
• Improves safety during microbiological sample handling and analysis
