CytoQuant SWAB
CytoQuant® measures bacteria and particulate residue contamination in the food production environment. Separate, precise counts for each are provided in 30 seconds, with no need for pre-treatment, incubation, or chemical reagents, and without being influenced by trace detergents or disinfectants. By employing an impedance-based detection system, CytoQuant® brings the power of flow cytometry – a technology commonly associated with drinking water hygiene – to the convenience of a hand-held device.
