Providing quick, consistent and reliable testing to ensure the food supply is safe.
Bacteria contamination is harmful to humans. Organisms such as E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella can cause illness or death which is why Federal organizations such as the Environmental Protection Agency, Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Agriculture utilize our technology to ensure the safety of our food supply.
Testing needs to be quick, consistent and reliable to ensure that food reaches the consumer at maximum quality and freshness.
Our fast, flexible, and easy-to-use Anoxomat® system provides food safety microbiology laboratories with automated technology for culturing anaerobic and microaerophilic bacteria such as Clostridium and Campylobacter, as well as capnophilic bacteria.
Quickly and easily detect bacteria in food with our Anoxomat system.
Our Anoxomat uses the widely known McIntosh and Fildes system of evacuation and replacement to create anaerobic environments. During the anaerobic evacuation cycle, oxygen within the jar is replaced with hydrogen. After the anaerobic cycle, 0.16% residual oxygen content is left in the jar, which is then removed by a Palladox Disposable Sachet. The anaerobic recipe leaves the jar with a strict zero oxygen level and 10% carbon dioxide mix.
This method is the most efficient way to create precise, reproducible conditions because it rapidly removes the oxygenated environment from a jar and replaces it with precise amounts of anaerobic, or microaerophilic or capnophilic gas mixtures.
After 5 minutes, the Anoxomat will indicate that the jar has been successfully processed and the designated environment has been created. The jar can then be uncoupled. The snap-shut coupling on the lid closes upon disconnection. The jar is ready for incubation and the Anoxomat is ready for the next job.
According to FDA stipulations, analytical results from laboratory tests are used to ensure the safety, purity and effectiveness of food and drugs for consumers. Liquid handling equipment plays a critical role in measuring and analyzing samples to determine if they possess these desired properties.
If liquid delivery instrumentation operates out of specification for even one day, how much uncertainty can laboratories legally tolerate? With our technology and services, you can take the liquid handling errors out of the equation. Our liquid handling products and services can help you ensure consistency, quality, and compliance of operations, analytical workflows, and operator proficiency.
Get the best performance from your instruments from the experts who designed them. We provide a range of services and service plans to meet your specific needs.
Our certified Field Service Engineers provide on-site, professional installation, training, validation, and system maintenance support.
