All living cells are metabolically active, and the calScreener® detects cells by measuring their heat release, enabling high-precision, phenotypic microbial detection with faster time to results and higher throughput while reducing manual labor and reliance on plate counting. The calScreener+ is Symcel’s second-generation biocalorimeter, offering improved signal stability and label-free, non-destructive in situ testing across temperatures from 20 °C to 42 °C in a streamlined workflow.
Key Points:
- Continuous microbial detection with automated positive/negative results within hours
- Direct testing of diverse materials in growth media vials
- High sensitivity, enabling detection of microbial growth originating from a single initial viable cell.
- Non-destructive, in situ testing of intact products and complex matrices
- Direct inoculation of products and label-free measurements
- Automated testing of up to 32 samples in parallel
- Metabolic insights beyond standard growth assays
