BacSomatic™ - First ever integrated bacteria and somatic cell counter
Agricultural Sciences / Nutrition & Food Sciences / Agro-Food
February 08, 2018The small, automated instrument offers a fast alternative to manual assay or semi-automated methods requiring reagent handling. It delivers accurate results for bacteria count and somatic cell within nine minutes or two and half minutes for somatic cell count alone using a flow cytometry technology.
The handy format makes it ideal for use at the dairy, on large farms or in smaller milk-testing laboratories!
Simplicity saves money
As simple to use as other FOSS instruments for the dairy industry such as the MilkoScan FT1 and MilkoScan Mars, the BacSomatic small footprint and intuitive touch screen operation makes it easy for anyone to test hygiene quality in milk in any location.
The rapid results promote smarter money-saving decisions, for instance, on the suitability of milk deliveries for cheese or butter production and whether to segregate or reject a tanker load to avoid nasty, quality-impacting surprises downstream in the process
Automated method for Highly consistent and accurate results
Built on a long FOSS tradition of automating analytical tests, BacSomatic™ provides ready-to-use reagents in an enclosed bag system which effectively avoids skin contact. The automated procedure ensures exact reagent dosage every time reducing the risk of human error that can occur with other methods.
