Bacterial testing gets the GreenLight

摘要

Mocon's GreenLight 910 bacterial testing system significantly reduces the testing time and work needed to determine aerobic bacterial counts in meat, poultry, seafood, dairy and produce, according to the US instrumentation specialist. The GreenLight unit provides an aerobic plate count (APC) or total viable count (TVC) of a food sample's microbial load by using a sensing assay or vial. As bacteria in the test sample multiply and respire, they consume oxygen. The change in oxygen is used to calculate the original sample's colony forming units per gram (CFU/g) for solids or per ml for liquids.
