Description:

The D-COUNT® system is an advanced analysis solution for rapidly detecting microorganisms. Rapid detection tests in microbiology enable greater efficiencies and enhanced capabilities in the lab. 

Rapid microbiology testing with the D-COUNT® system improves quality assurance and production, overcoming the limits of classical microbiology due to microorganisms' growth rate on culture media. The advanced solution for rapid testing helps to reduce production cycle times and inventories and implement just-in-time manufacturing processes. It also minimizes the risks and costs associated with potential in-process contamination while continuing to guarantee and enhance the quality of products delivered to customers. 


Key Points:
  • Method based on flow cytometry with automated viable cell labeling 
  • 25 or 50 tests per batch
