Our partner company Mocon now sell and market the GreenLight 900 series globally. For more information on the GreenLight 900 series, please visit www.mocon.com/foodsafety.php
The GreenLight™ range of food safety tests provide easy, same-day detection and enumeration of bacteria in food samples by measuring bacterial oxygen consumption (bacterial respiration) and equating oxygen consumption to microbial load.
As bacteria in the test sample grow and respire they deplete O2 which is detected as an increase in the GreenLight™ probe signal above the baseline level. The time required to reach this increase in signal is used to calculate the cfu/g of the food sample, based on a pre-determined calibration.
Benefits:
Extremely cost effective and fast with the ability to screen up to 384 samples in parallel.
- Same day results – results in hours, allowing for better inventory control, and immediate screening of incoming raw materials
- Easy sample preparation – same as for standard agar plate method, but without the need to perform multiple sample dilutions –
- Simple 'mix and measure' protocols
- Detects live bacteria – Excellent correlation with standard agar plate method
- Save on time, labor, consumables, remove the need for agar plates
- AOAC certified, licence no.061002. Approved for raw meat and poultry
The GreenLight™ 900 series has three formats available depending on throughput and sensitivity required.
- GreenLight Model 960 for high throughput:
- GreenLight Model 930 model for high throughput: up to 432 samples (9 carousels) per day
- GreenLight Model 910 model for lower throughput requirements: 1 - 50 food tests per day
