For routine quality control of water samples in industrial processes, CyStain™ BacCount kits enable the detection of the total number of bacteria and differentiation between living and dead microorganisms.
Ensure the efficiency of your plant, optimize processes, and minimize health risks.
Microbiological control of process water is an essential component of effective quality management in industrial processes, ensuring both product quality and operational safety. CyStain™ BacCount Total and CyStain™ BacCount Viable enable routine microbiological monitoring of process water that is economical, simple, and automated. Results available within 20 minutes allow preventive measures to be taken at an early stage to safeguard quality and safety and to optimize production processes.
We provide precise, rapid, and reliable microbiological quality control for demanding applications.

Conventional microbiological methods (e.g. plating) take several days to evaluate – too slow for process-related decisions or rapid intervention in the event of contamination.
Especially with water that is only minimally contaminated — as required in modern industrial processes — many conventional methods reach their detection limits.
Visual evaluations or manual colony counts are often subjective. This results in variability in the outcomes and makes comparisons between locations or over time more difficult.
