Overview of Products, Technologies, and Services
With the BACTESTER, the number of viable and dead (damaged) bacteria can be determined on the spot. Bacterial cells are fluorescently stained and counted directly by a unique optical mechanism, eliminating the need to culture them.
BACTESTER" is already being used in many food factories and in product development and shipping inspections for daily necessities, and we are also responding to inquiries from overseas.
Product Features
| Feature 1 | Conventional culture methods for general viable bacteria ①Evaluate only medium-temperature bacteria. ② It is not good at specimens with a small number of bacteria assumed. ③The degree of damage to bacteria is not constant. ④There is decay and growth of bacteria during storage, preparation, and operation of test samples. ⑤Results are known after 48 hours... etc. Rapid measurement by fluorescent staining using BACTESTER or BACTESTER K2 covers all of these points because it does not require incubation. |
|---|---|
| Feature 2 | BACTESTER simultaneously measures and displays general viable and damaged bacteria in approximately 5 minutes. The measurement range of bacteria count is from 1 to 99,999/ml. |
| Feature 3 | BACTESTER measures general viable bacteria counts and damaged bacteria counts. It is also suitable for sanitation control of water and airborne bacteria that are difficult to measure (low bacteria count) by the culture method. |
| Feature 4 | BACTESTER automatically saves measurement data each time, which is useful for HACCP management. |
| Feature 5 | BACTESTER is portable size and lightweight. It can be used in any measurement location with a general power supply. |
