Systems for More Efficient Tube, Bottle and Plate Filling

The PMI™ is a high Precision Peristaltic Dispenser to your culture media preparation. You can fill tubes, bottles or plates manually with PMI, part of the BLUE LINE™.

SMASHER® is a high performance bag blender, that ensures sample homogeneity before microbial detection or identification tests.

This innovative automated system is part of a complete sample prep solution which offers fully automated systems for food microbiology laboratories: Dilumat for automated sample dilution, and Masterclave range for culture media and broth preparation.

SMASHER® system relies on the patented Smash technique. It crushes the sample in record time and then automatically adjusts its mixing speed for a perfectly homogenised enrichment broth.

A study conducted by an independent laboratory showed that the SMASHER® tested at 15 and 30 second blending times made it possible to obtain results similar to those of the compared blender tested at 60 second blending time.

The TEMPO instrument is the food industry’s automated quality indicator testing system for the enumeration of quality indicator organisms in food and environmental samples. TEMPO automates food safety testing for total viable counts, coliform counts, generic E. coli, and Enterobacteriaceae, lactic acid bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, yeasts and molds, Bacillus cereus and now Campylobacter spp. Enumerating these organisms is important to a food quality lab to provide evidence of process control, effectiveness of interventions, and an indication of product spoilage and safety.

With VIDAS®, we offer you a high performance solution for your food pathogen detection operations.

The air can be a serious contamination source, it is therefore essential for your lab to regularly evaluate the quality of the environment. Validated by the Health Protection Agency (HPA, UK), SAMPL’AIR™ is a high efficiency microbial air sampler with a microorganism collection rate of 99, even with the smallest particles. It is the ideal solution if you wish to regularly perform thorough air quality control.

Mass spectrometry (MS) is an analytical technique for determining the elemental composition of a sample. The MS principle consists of ionizing chemical compounds to generate charged molecules and to measure their mass-to-charge ratio.

Fully automated microbial identification system increased productivity & safety, full traceability and rapid results. VITEK® 2 Compact includes an extended identification database, which enables you to detect a larger range of microorganisms. All identification stages from reading to the recording of results are automated, optimizing workflow. As the system operates with bar-coded cards, full traceability is ensured and the risk of transcription errors is minimized. The efficiency of the VITEK® 2 Compact system relies on the advanced colorimetry technology: the system reads the latest generation VITEK®test cards – containing 64 wells to ensure accuracy – every 15 minutes using three different wavelengths. With this technique, more data is analyzed, which increases results accuracy. With this system, both set-up and response time are reduced – time to result from 2 to 18 hours . VITEK® 2 Compact software is extremely intuitive and therefore requires less technician training, which results in higher productivity.

The Encapsulator B-390 and B-395 Pro use the same unique technology, which is based on the principle that a laminar flowing liquid jet breaks up into equally sized droplets by superimposed vibration. The selectable vibration frequency determines the quantity of droplets produced; for example, 1’000 droplets are generated per second at 1’000 Hz. The droplet chain is electrostatically charged causing the droplets to repel each other, thus eliminating coalescence. The droplets fall into a hardening solution where the beads are polymerized quickly or in a cooling chamber where the beads solidify.

Applications includes Analyze encased and bound fat in foodstuff, Determine the crude fat content in feedstuff and processed food (with consistent composition), Determine ingredients in articles of daily use or packaging, Analyze traces of pesticides in cereals.
