There are several advantages:
- The use of different media at the same time (e.g.: TSA for bacteria and SDA for moulds)
- The use of the same media for real statistical results
- The use of the same media (e.g.: TSA) at different incubation temperature for bacteria and moulds
- To save operator time
- The application of continuous monitoring during the daily working shift
- To reduce the operator contamination risk because the plates handling is reduced
