PRO Devices A/S
CEO & Co-founder
Charlotte Enghave Fruergaard, Ph.D., is CEO and Co-founder of PRO Devices A/S. Our vision is to make everyday life easier for staff in microbial laboratories. We add value to the laboratories by optimising manual workflow of weary routines, using automated resistance measurements, which is a time-consuming routine task. We have developed equipment that reads the size of all inhibition-zones on disc diffusion tests, at the same time the individual antibiotic discs are identified, and documentation and traceability are ensured with photo-documentation.
