Hygiene Monitoring


Surfaces and rinse fluids in food production have to be clean! Visual control is not sufficient and microbiological testing takes days. The new HY-LiTE®2 System gives results within one minute on site. HY-RiSE™ is a test strip for testing the cleanliness of surfaces and liquids. It is superior to a protein test because it measures NAD and transfers the result into a visible color reaction. The results are fairly close to an ATP measurement.
Microbial Content Test Agar is widely used in the field of hygiene monitoring using classical microbiological methods by the so called RODAC® plate method. Polysorbate 80 and lecithin have been added because they inactivate many residual disinfectants.
Our "Microbial Content Test Agar" is produced in granulated form, thus protecting the media from the adverse effects of humidity. In addition the media can be kept at room temperature therefore liberating valuable refrigerator space.
