Monitoring the Food Production Environment Using Real-time Total Viable Counts
Ensuring food safety begins with a deep understanding of the production environment. However, traditional microbial monitoring methods often require days to deliver results - delaying critical corrective actions when time is of the essence.
To address this challenge, Romer Labs, in collaboration with Campden BRI, is hosting a 45-minute technical webinar on Thursday, 23 October 2025, at 3:00 PM CEST. This session will explore how real-time total viable counts (TVCs), enabled by impedance flow cytometry, are transforming microbial monitoring strategies in food production environments.
What you’ll learn by joining:
- The critical role of total viable counts in robust Environmental Monitoring Programmes (EMPs)
- How CytoQuant® enables real-time microbial quantification
- Key findings from Campden BRI’s proof-of-principle study
This webinar is a must-attend for food safety professionals seeking to enhance their environmental monitoring capabilities and reduce response times to microbial risks.
