ULTRA RAPID MICROBIAL TESTING
CHEMUNEX D-COUNT, bioMérieux’s commercial sterility solution, is an advanced analysis solution for the rapid detection of microorganisms. With this extremely sensitive and rapid solution, the company says producers can gain efficiencies on both the production floor and in the laboratory. Thanks to automated, objective results that reduce laboratory bottlenecks, these companies can feel confident they’re releasing a safe product with notably faster results than ATP methods, the company states.
SCREENING FOR MICROBIAL CONTAMINANTS
Hygiena’s Innovate System offers rapid microbiological screening to detect microbial contaminants in finished products. Superior to pH monitoring or microbiological plating, the Innovate System, when used with the RapiScreen Dairy or RapiScreen Beverage Kits, detects the presence of contaminants in dairy, dairy-alternative and low pH beverages (e.g., fruit juices) after just 24-48 hours of incubation post-production, the company says. This reduces labor costs and minimizes warehouse space. The system can detect and quantitate microorganism levels within 30 minutes of testing, analyzing up to 96 individual samples simultaneously. The platform can be automated for high-volume testing using the Autosampler III for product sampling, the company says.
NO PREP TIME REQUIRED
Being able to quickly and accurately evaluate food safety or food quality is a crucial step for any food processing plant. Companies can streamline their indicator organism laboratory testing with ready-to-use Neogen Petrifilm Plates from Nelson-Jameson that require no preparation time. By leveraging Petrifilm plates and indicator organism testing as an essential part of any product testing and environmental testing program, the company says laboratories gain valuable insights into the presence and potential risks posed by various types of microbes within a sample.
