PULSIFIER®
The
Difference is Clear
A revolutionary
new technology for the processing
of food samples for microbiological analysis
• A high speed oscillating action
creates shearing forces which release micro organisms from
food samples with minimal disruption of the food sample matrix.
• The oscillating action virtually
eliminates bag breakage’s, even with hard foods.
• Less suspended food debris
allows easier pipetting and faster filtration. Ideal for use
with Petrifilm®.
• Extensive international evaluations
have demonstrated that bacterial counts are equivalent or
superior to alternative methods.
• Reduced disruption of the
food matrix minimises the release of factors capable of interfering
with EIA, PCR and other rapid methods.
• Short operating cycle times,
15 seconds.
