Spiral Biotech, Inc. (SBI), an Advanced Instruments Company, produces automated microbiology systems for research, food, dairy, and environmental sciences laboratories.

Spiral Biotech first commercialized the technique of Spiral Plating in 1976. Since that time, the company has focused on automating the pre-analytical and analytical steps involved with traditional microbial enumeration. SBI products include colony counters, plating systems, anaerobic workstations, susceptibility test software, air samplers, and sample prep tools.
