Microbiological contamination can occur during the manufacture of cosmetic, skin, and personal care products. These can affect the integrity of your products by changing their color, odor, and consistency. As a result, your customers lose confidence in your products.
The change in color, odor, and consistency of your products leads to a loss of confidence among your customers and thus to reduced sales. Since many individual components flow into the end product in the manufacture of cosmetic and personal care products (surfactants, water, dyes, perfumes, oils, etc.), there is a high risk of contamination of the end product with microorganisms. Rapid microbiological quality control using CyStain™ VitalCount Cosmetics helps you to ensure microbiological product integrity in a cost-effective process.
With the help of the CyStain™ VitalCount Cosmetics Kit in combination with a Sysmex Partec flow cytometer, microorganisms in cosmetic products can be detected quickly and reliably. This allows contaminations to be not only detected, but also the extent of the contamination to be assessed. This helps you identify risks to product integrity and make decisions to initiate measures.
The CyStain™ VitalCount Cosmetics Kit is the ideal solution to ensure consistent quality in your cosmetics production. Thanks to the fast and reliable microbiological testing method, consisting of the reagent kit and a Sysmex Partec flow cytometer, such as the CyFlow™ RI-300 Flow Cytometer, both raw materials can be tested, as well as in-process and end-product controls can be carried out. These tests can be supplemented by the CyStain™ BacCount Kits, which enable a microbiological analysis of your production and process water used (total or viable cell count).
Contamination can lead to product changes in color, odor or consistency – and classic tests often take days.
