How do I control production water to quickly detect contamination?

  • Quickly Check Production Water for Microbiological Contamination to Ensure Product Safety | Water for Production

Here's what you need to know if

Water used in your production of food or cosmetics, where the quality and safety of the end products play a crucial role for you.

Water for production must be free of microbiological contamination to prevent contamination of products with harmful microorganisms, to exclude health risks for the consumer and to guarantee the highest quality of the end products.

Why is this Topic Critical?
Our Solution / Clear, Safe, Effective
Our Recommendation / our Product

Unnoticed microbiological contamination of production water can lead to contamination of the end product with microorganisms. This can reduce the quality of a product (odor, color, taste) and/or pose a health risk to the consumer.
This poses a risk of recalls, loss of image and customer dissatisfaction, associated with increased costs.

Regular quality controls of the production water with regard to microbiological contamination can prevent contamination of the end product. For this it is necessary to check the total cell count of all microorganisms and their viability.

Sysmex Partec offers the CyStain™ BacCount Total and CyStain™ BacCount Viable reagents for routine microbiological quality control of your production water. A quantitative analysis of the total amount of bacteria and the determination of their viability is made possible. Supplemented with the CyFlow™ RI-300 Flow Cytometer, the microbiological status of your production water can be routinely controlled quickly, easily and economically efficiently.
Due to the high resolution of the flow cytometer, all existing bacteria (LNA - Low Nucleic Acid bacteria and HNA - High Nucleic Acid bacteria) can be detected. Furthermore, VBNC (Viable But Not Culturable) bacteria are also detected, which cannot be detected with common plating methods.
