TNSTRT TMFNTS BactoCount IBC THE Most ACCURATE AND DEPENDABLE BACTERIA COUNTER IN THE WORLD The BactoCount IBC is a fully automated instrument that uses a proprietary process based on flow cytometry (FCM) for the rapid, highly accurate and reliable enumeration of individual bacteria in raw milk. The BactoCount high processing speed (up to 150 samples/ hour) makes it the ideal solution for mid- to large size laboratories that need a highly accurate, easy-to-maintain, exceptionally fast and reliable bacteria counting system.

Bentley BactoCount IBC Technology The BactoCount IBC consists OF 5 modules: Computer A powerful external computer allows the IBC to run and monitor the instrument at all times. Diagnostic features have been integrated in the software to warn the operator if the instrument is not functioning properly. All the analytical data and peak distribution curves are saved in a database and can be recalled at anytime. The use of ultrasonic probes is an important feature of the application. The cavitation effect removes very effectively potential interfering components like somatic cells and gives the...

CONVERSION EQUATIOn Developed according to ISO 21187/IDF 196 Standard SIMPLE REAGENT CONCEPT The BactoCount IBC only uses two working solutions, i.e. an incubation solution and a cleaning solution. These two solutions can be easily, safely and readily prepared by the operators during the start-up of the instrument. The reagents are automatically filtrated by the instrument before the analysis to prevent any contamination that could interfere with the reliability of the results and secure the BactoCount sensitivity even in the lowest bacteria concentration range.

O BACTOCOUNT IBC TECHNICAL OVERVIEW & PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION • An incubation reagent consisting of a clarification buffer, proteolytic enzyme, and fluorescent marker is added to the milk in order to lyse the somatic cells, solubilize the fat globules and proteins, permeabilize the bacteria and stain their DNA. • The fluorescent marker intercalates rapidly and selectively into all the bacteria double-stranded nucleic acid. • The mixture is sonicated during the incubation period to help the chemical breakdown of the interfering particles, disrupt the remaining bacteria colonies to improve the...
