BactoScanTM FC+
The approved rapid method for determination of
total bacteria in raw milk
Based on Individual Bacteria Count (IBC), BactoScan™ FC+ gives an
accurate determination of the hygienic quality of raw milk with a ca- Sample type
pacity of testing up to 200 samples per hour. BactoScan is the indus- Cow, goat, sheep and buffalo milk
trial standard in many countries all over the world, and in the EU more
than 75% of all milk supplies are paid based on BactoScan results. Parameters
Individual Bacteria Count (IBC/ml)
Superior accuracy through Individual Bacteria Count
BactoScan FC+ measures the hygienic quality of milk by analysing bac- Technology
teria in raw milk. As the automated BactoScan FC+ counts the total Flow cytometry technology that enables
bacteria as single cells and not clusters, it gives a uniform high accu- precise and instant milk bacteria analysis
racy of results.
Approvals
High capacity with confidence
BactoScan FC+ is a FDA/NCIMS and MicroVal
High performance capacity enables a high throughput of milk sam-
ples. Reduce labour time and get instant results for fast response to (EURL) approved rapid electronic counting
farmers. The repeatability and reproducibility of BactoScan FC+ is ex- method and complies with ISO/IDF guidelines
cellent compared to plate count methods, while a self-cleaning pro-
gram minimises carry-over contamination from previous samples.
