SAMPLE PREPARATION - PULSIFIER®

Pulsifier® is a patented technology for the preparation of food samples for analysis for specific pathogens employing standard bacteriological methods. This novel technology employs a metal ring which agitates food samples housed in standard plastic bags at a very high frequency. This action produces a combination of shock waves and intense mixing which rapidly detaches trapped bacteria, releasing them into suspension. The result is a cleaner less particulate suspension which is much easier pipette than samples prepared by current standard methods.

PATH CHEK HYGIENE

The PATH CHEK HYGIENE range of products have been specifically developed for the detection of food pathogens in food preparation environments and associated sites. Employing simple swabbing combined with highly specific and sensitive detection culture media, these products are able to detect as little as one cell of the target organism on a swabbed surface within 24 - 48 hours.

Specifically designed ISO requirements for microbiological environmental monitoring.

Tests available include:

• Coliforms
• Salmonella
• Listeria spp.
