DAIRY PRODUCTS

Throughout the dairy industry, quality control laboratories are facing increasing pressure to cut the turnaround time on their microbiological testing. The main driver for this is the desire within many companies to reduce production cycle times and  inventories, implement just-in-time manufacturing processes, minimize the risk and cost associated with potential in-process contamination whilst continuing to guarantee and enhance the quality of products delivered to customers.

 

Applications:

  • Commercial Sterility test for Desserts and milk based products
  • Commercial Sterility testing for UHT Milk
  • Presence / Absence Test of Enterobacteriaceae in Yogurts and Fermented Milk Products
  • Yeast Detection in Yogurts and Fermented Milk Products 

 

BEVERAGES

Product releases based on effectiveness, safety and quickness are becoming an increasingly important factor for all beverages manufacturers worldwide. As classical microbiology is limited by the growth rate of microorganisms on culture media, rapid microbiology systems have become more and more interesting to quality assurance managers during the last few years, also driven by trend of non-preserved beverages and change from traditional glass bottle to modern PET bottle requiring highest demands for aseptic filling.

Unique Proven Technology

CHEMUNEX Cell Labeling Technology ensures that all viable microorganisms including those growing in conditions of stress such nutrient-depleted process water or in the presence of growth inhibitors are labeled.

Automated, extremely sensitive and ultra-rapid, CHEMUNEX analyzers perform direct labeling and detection of microorganisms, cell by cell. 

  • Universal labeling of viable bacteria, yeasts and molds
  • Effective for organisms that are environmentally stressed, nutrient-depleted or in presence of growth inhibitors
  • Objective Yes/No results require no interpretation
  • Generate results within minutes after 24 hours (50h for molds)
    Full validation support available
