Clean-Trace system tops hygiene tester study

Biotrace International's Clean-Trace system, has topped an independent study of surface hygiene testers by Cara Technology Limited.

The study aimed to find which products - if any, were most consistent under a repeated number of set circumstances.

In these repeatability tests, Clean-Trace was found to give the most accurate results over duplicate tests against three competing products.

According to the company, Clean-Trace is capable of allowing food and beverage manufacturers to assess the cleanliness of a surface within seconds.

It is hoped that the device could allow manufacturer's greater flexibility in establishing hygienic conditions for food and beverage production, and is part of their growing portfolio of food testing equipment including rapid pathogen, toxin and allergen kits.

"We are delighted that our dedicated focus on ensuring very high technical performance from the Clean-Trace test has been recognised by this study. Our customers across the world place Clean-Trace at the heart of their hygiene programmes and these results show they can have every confidence they have made the right decision," said Colin Hunt, International Product Manager at Biotrace International.

Clara technology who issued the test, supply problem solving solutions to the brewery industry designed to prevent incidents, and improve efficiency in the sector.
