bioMérieux launches automated test for rapid enumeration of total flora in food
The TEMPO AC test will help agri-food laboratories to save time and release their product faster and has obtained the AOAC RI (Research Institute) validation.
It allows the enumeration of total aerobic mesophilic flora in 24 hours, so laboratories can provide rapid information to customers and speed-up the time to market.
The fully automated system, based on traditional MPN (Most Probable Number), ensures optimal user convenience, reduced hands-on time and faster turnaround time for accurate and standardized results, said the firm.
“The automated TEMPO system meets the needs of our customers in the food industry with a cost effective solution that is less time-consuming and labor-intensive than traditional methods,” said Jean-Marc Durano, corporate vice president, Industrial Microbiology Unit.
