Food Safety Testing Kit to Detect Bacterial Contamination

Safety in the food and beverage industry – Food testing kits

The food industry requires strict safety standards, from raw material to product. Numerous tests for microbial contamination, environmental and preparative surface contamination must be conducted during the manufacturing process.

Hygiene, food contaminant testing and quality control are central components at each step of food and beverage production process: preparation, processing, storage, and at the point of sale to the consumer. Continuous hygiene monitoring and food and beverage testing are essential to help guarantee the quality and safety of foodstuffs from the food producer to the consumer (from the field to the plate).

CompactDry

Chromogenic Culture Media

CompactDry is a ready-to-use chromogenic media plate which can be used as a direct substitute to the conventional method. It eliminates the laborious work of media preparation and sterilisation and only requires minimum laboratory equipment.

CompactDry requires minimal training. This rapid test kit is available for 15 groups of microorganisms which include spoilage organisms and pathogens. In comparison with other similar technologies, CompactDry is the only system with tests available for Enterococcus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

It also offers reduced testing time for Total Viable Count (CompactDry TCR) and Yeast / Mould (CompactDry YMR) detection with only 24 and 72 hours of incubation time, respectively. Our continued product development underlines Shimadzu Diagnostics Corporation’s commitment to continual innovation providing the best solutions for microbial testing in the food and beverage industries.
