BIOBALL® LUMINATE 2.0: The Bright Choice to Control the Risk of Cross-Contamination  


Precision, accuracy and innovation supporting food safety
Imagine a glass tube containing fluorescent strains to help you with your microbiological quality control. Strains that would be easily distinguishable from natural contaminants in case of cross-contamination of your routine sample, highly stable and easy to use.

Our new BIOBALL® LUMINATE 2.0 meets these expectations and even more. Produced in our state-of-the-art laboratories in Australia, the land of agriculture and food, they are specifically designed for food-testing applications, including:

  • Positive (daily) controls
  • Method validation and verification (ISO 16140-3)
  • Performance testing of culture media
  • Proficiency testing

Among these applications, the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) gene inserted in the strains makes the confirmation of positive results easier and more reliable by using a specific method (e.g., observation of fluorescence under a UV lamp or PCR VERIFLOW® GFP) and avoid false positive results. BIOBALL® LUMINATE 2.0 contains an accurate and precise number of microorganisms and are easy to use as they require no culture.

In order to satisfy the most common needs, BIOBALL® LUMINATE 2.0 exists for five strains – the most challenging ones in the food industry:

  • Salmonella Typhimurium
  • Escherichia coli O157:H7
  • Cronobacter sakazakii
  • Listeria monocytogenes 4b
  • Listeria innocua

BIOBALL® LUMINATE 2.0 is now your best ally to take control of your microbiological quality control.

Learn more about our BIOBALL® LUMINATE 2.0 and the 20+ years of expertise behind here.

BIOBALL® LUMINATE 2.0 is a range of Genetically Modified Micro-organisms (GMMs) and may need to comply with special regulatory requirements in your country. Please, refer to your local competent authority to declare or obtain an agreement before use.
