TEMPO
Witness the Food Quality Laboratory of the future! TEMPO is the first automated quality indicator testing system, providing a new tool for the enumeration of quality indicator organisms in food and environmental samples. This revolutionary system delivers a solution standardized testing methodology, complete sample result traceability and increased time management while controlling costs in a food facility.


miniVIDAS
The miniVIDAS family of systems delivers accurate AOAC validated results through a standardized methodology with multi-parametric testing capabilities. The easy-to-use miniVIDAS system can process up to 12 samples simultaneously, with results available in just 40-80 minutes. A larger capacity system with the ability to link multiple reading modules is also available.  Reliable, economical Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay (ELFA) technology, with a broad and growing menu of assays, makes the miniVIDAS family the ideal pathogen detection systems for food companies to optimize operational efficiency.

 

BacT/ALERT 3D Combo
Delivering results in as little as half the time required by conventional testing methods, the BacT/ALERT 3D reduces costs by preventing loss of contaminated finished product. It is the state-of-the-art, automated continuous monitoring microbial detection system that offers advantages in every dimension of testing. Its space-saving modular design, easy touch-screen operation and flexible data management option make it a perfect fit in any laboratory. The system's unbreakable plastic bottles add significantly to the safety of laboratory and plant personnel.

 

air IDEAL
For the detection of viable organisms through active air sampling, the light, portable air IDEAL uses standard prepared media, such as contact plates or 100mm plates. The five interchangeable heads allow for continuous sampling, and the user-friendly software is easy to program with minimal training. The air IDEAL can optimize plant operations through reduced unit cost and a lower cost per test.
