Simple, Rapid and Reliable Manual Identification Method

Right from the moment it launched, API® completely revolutionized the field of bacteriology. API® brings together high quality and ease of use with standardized, miniaturized strips of biochemical tests to use with comprehensive identification databases. With API®, bacterial and fungal identification is simple, rapid and reliable.

The API®/ID32 range is the ideal solution if you seek a simplified and standardized identification method. It is the miniaturized version of the current existing identification techniques with ISO 7218 compliant. Including 15 identification systems covering more than 600 bacteria species, the API®/ID32 solution is the reference in identification.

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™.

• High precision & reproducibility
• Rapid & accurate filling
• Easy to use

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.

Time management is crucial in the agri/food industry. TEMPO helps you:

• Speed up the selection and management of raw materials
• Accelerate corrective action in the case of non-compliance
• Expedite product release, especially for re-tests
• Accelerate stock rotation
• Rapidly respond to regulatory guidelines and customers’ requirements

TEMPO helps gain time for other tasks:

• Assess production process to better understand and anticipate possible non-compliance
• Carry out trend analyses of results
• Revisit HACCP plan and monitor the critical control points
• Improve the training of production personnel in microbiological risks
• Reinforce food pathogen control plan or increase chemical analyses
• Increase testing analyses
