Solid Phase Cytometry meets Artificial Intelligence TECHNOPATH partners with Microbs for their fully automated solution. To boost productivity in your microbial QC lab, Microbs launches IAN®, an Ultra Rapid Microbiological Method allowing an accurate enumeration of bacteria, yeast and mould within minutes, not days! With IAN®, you can redesign your quality control. No need to wait days to check the microbiological quality of your production. IAN® gives you a quantitative measurement of your contamination in 15 minutes using our innovative direct non-growth detection method. -
Why wait? TECHNOPATH partners with CertaBlue for their rapid microbiology technology. CertaBlue is based on rapid detection of several metabolic processes that take place within the growing organism. The system can detect colour changes through highly sensitive optical sensors. All vials are ready to use, prefilled with media and equipped with CertaBlue sensors. In most cases, the vials can be inoculated with a non-diluted high volume sample. The CertaBlue vials contain an optical sensor, which can detect carbon dioxide as the universal indicator for microbial growth. The sensor is placed in the bottom of the vial, where it directly detects carbon dioxide changes. CertaBlue sensors are only permeable for gases. Liquids, dyed / heavily coloured products and other particles can’t falsify results. What can CertaBlue offer you:- Simplified test procedures
- Ready-to-use vials including media and CertaBlue sensor
- Test procedure consists of just adding your sample to the vial
- Results in hours instead of days
- Real-time detection and early warning of positive samples
- Ensures a quick and safe product release
- Better recovery of injured and / or damaged microorganisms

Hands-on training & performance verification improves pathogen detection. Data collected from environmental sampling of surfaces is highly dependent on the operator. Understanding and quantitatively characterising the percent recovery and consistency of sample collection by an operator drives improved detection and prevention of pathogens. Performance verification involves determining the percent recovery and consistency of an operator who collects samples in an environmental sampling program. Introducing Enverify™, a quantitative positive control for environmental sampling programs and comprises a flat substrate with a specific quantity of viable microorganisms coated on the surface. The microbes are safe-to-handle and are coated across a 10 cm x 10 cm area. Enverify™ provides a standardised tool for hands-on training and performance verification of operators that collect samples in environmental sampling programs. Enverify™ is compatible with contact plates, swab sampling devices, and sponge sample devices. Activities Involving Environmental Sampling:- Environmental monitoring for pathogens or indicator organisms
- Sanitation verification using ATP or indicator organisms
- Verification of hygienic restoration following adverse events
- Verification of containment during construction activities

QC microorganisms with Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) markers It’s not uncommon for food samples to inadvertently become contaminated with control strains used in the laboratory. This leads to false-positive results which can have severe financial and regulatory implications. UV-BioTAG, our line of reference strains containing green fluorescent protein (GFP) markers, make it easy to distinguish standard microorganism strains from laboratory control strains. Optimised for highly visible fluorescence, UV-BioTAG strains provide better stability because the GFP marker is integrated into the chromosome rather than the plasmid. With UV-BioTAG, you can quickly and reliably establish whether a positive test result can be traced back to a control strain cross-contamination issue, or if it is from another source. Applications & Test Methods- Enumeration Methods
- Detection Methods
- Demonstration of Capability (DOC)
- Media QC
- Validation/Verification
