The BacSomatic™ provides rapid hygiene testing of milk as it is received at the dairy. BacSomatic is the first-ever integrated bacteria and somatic cell tester and offers full automation for minimal reagent handling and consistent test results. It is ideal for dairies and smaller laboratories needing only a low-volume, yet high-performance analyser. ANALYTICS BEYOND MEASURE

Check it first and avoid nasty surprises The BacSomaticTM gives dairy producers new powers to test the hygienic quality of milk on-the-spot. The rapid somatic cell and total bacteria count allows deliveries to be checked and segregated while sub-standard material can be rejected before it is used in the process. As the first-ever integrated bacteria and somatic cell tester, BacSomatic offers a fast alternative to manual assay or semiautomated methods requiring reagent handling. Results for bacteria count are delivered within nine and half minutes, whereas results for somatic cell count are...

Technology The BacSomaticTM is based on the same technology employed in top of the range BactoScanTM and FossomaticTM milk analysers used for official central milk testing around the world. The only difference is the volume of tests that can be performed. With BacSomatic, samples are presented manually, one-byone as required, for example, when a delivery truck arrives at the dairy. In comparison, BactoScan and Fossomatic analysers are much larger and highly automated instruments designed for continuous tests. With Bacsomatic you can: • Check hygiene quality at the weighbridge before you...

Bacteria count conversion to CFU BacSomatic measures individual bacteria count (IBC). However, users may be obliged to present their results in Colony Forming Units (CFU), which can be obtained by a traditional plate count method. BacSomatic does not convert the measurement to IBC but includes a software tool to key-in the conversion table. Reagent bag system The reagent bag system is specifically designed for safe, contact-free use of reagents. The reagents are provided ready-touse in bags. Place the bags in the instrument and close the door and you are ready to test. A sensor on the bag...
