BacSomaticTM provides rapid hygiene testing of milk. BacSomatic is the first-ever integrated bacteria and somatic cell tester and offers full automation for minimal reagent handling and consistent test results.
Integrated bacteria and somatic cell tester
Automatic and fast alternative to manual assay, providing instant, simultaneous results for individual bacteria and somatic cell count within 9.5 minutes and 1.5 minutes for somatic cell count alone.
More accurate than alternative methods
A fully automated procedure avoids the risk of human error and inconsistency, while ready-to-use reagents in an enclosed bag system, ensure the exact same dosage for every measurement. A sensor in the reagent bag indicates the number of available tests remaining. The unique reagent concept includes control samples for quality assurance and GLP. Online remote monitoring ensures consistent performance and high uptime.
Simple and flexible to use
Built on a long heritage of Foss analytical technology and backed by global Foss support, BacSomatic combines robust performance with a modern interface. Very easyto-use with intuitive touch-screen operation for smarter money-saving decisions on how to use milk.
Sample types
Raw cow’s milk and buffalo milk
Parameters
Individual Bacteria Count (IBC) Somatic Cell Count (SCC)
Technology
Flow cytometry technology, counting individual bacteria cells and somatic cells. The IBC results can be converted to CFU results. BacSomatic software includes an easy and rapid tool to develop a robust conversion table between IBC and CFU.
Approvals
