Co2 monitoring for dairy product contamination
In the dairy industry, ensuring product safety against microbial contamination is critical. Traditional methods rely on visual inspection and culture-based assays, which can be time-consuming and inefficient. Rapid and non-invasive monitoring techniques are required to detect contamination early and accurately.
Measure Co2 levels to detect contamination
The EVO-TRACE CO2 by Antares Vision is a laboratory instrument designed to monitor changes in carbon dioxide levels due to microbial growth within the container headspace. Utilizing laser spectroscopy, this non-destructive and non-invasive method efficiently detects contamination. It is particularly useful for dairy products, where CO2 measurement is a reliable indicator of spoilage. The system can provide contamination detection within 24 hours at concentrations as low as 1 CFU/mL. It is designed for high reliability and repeatable measurements, ensuring accurate product safety assessments without the need for consumables or wear parts. Additionally, the automatic temperature measurement feature adds another layer of precision.
