SPECTRAL CONTROL DEVICE FOR CONTAMINATION OF MEAT PRODUCTS

SKU0032
DESCRIPTION

The device allows monitoring of meat surface contamination by two methods. The first allows for express analysis of contamination during carving. It’s intended for the assessment of 106 CFU/cm2 concentration of pathogenic microorganisms on the condition that the bacteria have been on the meat surface for no less than six hours. The method is contactless and can be used to conduct contamination analysis at different points of the carcass over the course of a short period of time. 
The second method is intended for more sensitive detection of bacteria on the meat surface. Its operating principle is based on using a special fluorescent colorant that can mark such bacteria as S. aureus, S. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, S. typhimurium and E. coli. The method makes it possible to detect 102 CFU/cm2 concentrations of bacteria in a short time.

CHARACTERISTICS

The technical properties have been confirmed by tests at St.Petersburg Pasteur Institute.

Fecal contamination registration method:
  • Concentration, CFU/ml – 106
  • Bacteria – E. coli and others
  • Measurement time – 6 h

Contamination control via the colorant method:
  • Concentration, CFU/ml – 102
  • Bacteria – E. coli and other
  • Measurement time – 2 h

ADVANTAGES OF THE DEVELOPMENT

  • Reduction of measurement time
  • Easy accessibility and cheapness of consumables
  • Ease of use

APPLICATION AREAS

  • Food industry
  • Retail
