Non-alcoholic beverages such as juice, lemonades or iced tea add flavor to our body’s necessary supply of fluids. To ensure that enjoyment remains, it is important that the beverages are free of harmful germs. These can easily be introduced during the manufacturing process, for example through the raw materials used, material surfaces or production water. Microbiological quality and process control is therefore urgently required.
Sysmex Partec offers the solution for optimal control of your beverage production and the quality of the end product. The analysis based on flow cytometry delivers objective results within hours, instead of days as with culture-based methods, e.g. the frequently used plating. This means that product releases are possible directly on the day of manufacture and cost-intensive storage is not necessary.

The production of non-alcoholic beverages presents several key challenges. Each batch must be stable, safe and quickly releasable. In practice, four problem areas arise above all:
In beverage production, rapid, sensitive and quantifiable detection of microbiological parameters along the entire process chain is of great importance. This results in the following fields of application:
We provide precise, rapid and reliable microbiological quality control for demanding applications.
Concentrates and production water are tested early so that no contaminations enter the process.
During production, you keep an eye on the microbiological situation of each batch and can react immediately.
Before release, the final quality of the beverage is objectively assessed.
CiP (Cleaning in Place) and SiP (Sterilization in Place) measures are checked so that residues and germs are reliably removed.
The effectiveness is quickly and reproducibly confirmed.
With just one system, you can easily control various raw materials, manufacturing and cleaning processes in your production.
With the CyFlow™ RI-300 Flow Cytometer and CyFlow™ AL-20 Autoloader, you can quickly and easily detect microorganisms. Discover the next level of microbiological quality control with results in minutes.
Reagent kit for the highly specific detection and counting of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris and Alicyclobacillus ssp. in fruit juices.
The CyStain™ VitalCount Kit helps you to safely detect living microorganisms in fruit juices and many other beverages.
With the mycotoxin kits, up to 6 mycotoxins (Mycotoxins Screening Kit) can be detected in one sample. In addition, detection for field (Field Toxins Kit) and storage toxins (Storage Toxins Kit) is possible.
The CellTrics™ filters (e.g. CellTrics™ 30µm) help, for example, when using the CyStain™ VitalCount Kit to filter the sample after (optional) pre-incubation. The microorganisms pass through the filter and can be stained in the next step, while the sample substance remains in the filter.
The BacCount reagents allow the determination of the Total Cell Counts (TCC) and the Vital Cell Counts (VCC) in waters of all kinds, also in production and process waters.
