The BactoScan™ 5 Cow's Milk Microbial Analyzer harnesses advancements in the latest hardware and software and networking to achieve new levels of productivity in fresh milk analysis. With the ability to analyze between 65 and 200 milk samples per hour, the BactoScan 5 ensures high milk sample throughput, saving operators time while ensuring fast response times with dairy farms and farmers.
RAPID MICROBIOLOGICAL ANALYZER FOR MILK
Model: BactoScan™ 5
Manufacturer: FOSS – Denmark
Product Overview:
BactoScan™ 5 is based on flow cytometry tech nology that enables fast and precise analysis of bacteria in raw milk. A mixture of milk and stain ing solution is surrounded by a sheath liquid and passed through a flow cell. In the flow cell, the stained bacteria are exposed to light of a specific wavelength. The stained bacteria then emit fluores cent light pulses at a different wavelength and the pulses are counted and displayed. The design of the flow cell ensures that only one bacterium is detect ed at a time.
Maximize efficiency. Minimize workload.
The BactoScan 5 reagent concept has reduced preparation steps, from mixing staining stock, rinse and sheath solutions, rehydration solutions and enzymes, to a minimum. Ready to use re agent kits speed up the preparation phase, en suring simple, fast and safe mixing of reagents.
Boost productivity with BactoScan™ 5
BactoScan 5 processes samples in 4 steps.
1. The sample is stirred and pumped into the tube and the filler sample is taken carefully.
2. The sample is dosed into the annealing wheel together with the dyeing solution and enzyme for dyeing and homogenization.
3. The dyeing sample passes through the flow cell and is stimulated by the green laser. A lens and optical filter receive the signal emitted by the bacteria that pass through.
4. Results are sent to your LIMS via FossIntegrator™. To ensure optimal results, an automated sanitizing process is launched between each sample processing.
