Applications
APPLICATION OBJECTIVE
- Rapidly and accurately test total biomass, total number of viable microorganisms, or total dead cell count
- Enables manufacturers of drugs, enzymes, vaccines, human and animal food additives and other
industrial products based on fermentation reactions to monitor microbial content:
- during growth through the entire fermentation process to optimize yield
- at the time of product release to ensure compliance with label claims
WHY THE BD FACSMicroCount™ SYSTEM?
- Determine best time to harvest biomass with total biomass, viable and dead cell counts
- Release products to market faster by validating microbial content with label claim in minutes
- Accurately enumerate a broad range of microorganisms, including Mycoplasmas, gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, yeasts, spores, spirochetes, and anaerobes
- Generate consistency in results by eliminating operator-to-operator variability in manual counting
- Benefit with significant time savings over traditional testing methods that can take over 10 days
WHAT THE BD FACSMicroCount™ SYSTEM DOES
- Provides results in 5 minutes instead of days with traditional methods
- Continuous sample loading with up to 42 samples at a time
- Analyze up to 15 samples per hour
- Correlates directly with traditional methods
- 21 CFR-Part 11 compliant data management system
