Evaluation of the Neogen Soleris® Enterobacteriaceae for Rapid Detection of Enterobacteriaceae in Dairy Products
Advances in microbiological analysis has enabled the rapid detection of dairy indicator organisms such as Enterobacteriaceae. The commercial availability of the automated Neogen Soleris® Enterobacteriaceae system offers laboratories a potential reduction in time-to-results from 3 days for culture-based methods to 18 h.
Novel Assay for Staphylococcus aureus in Nutraceuticals Using Rapid Automated Detection System
Microbiological procedures to evaluate nutritional and dietary supplements <2022> for objectional microorganisms of concern was established by the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). An improved rapid method has been developed to detect the presence of Staphylococcus aureus based upon real-time monitoring of color changes due to microbial metabolism in a novel broth/agar combination vial and accompanying reader.
Simultaneous Enumeration of Total Coliform and Escherichia coli in Drinking Water Using Colitag™ MPN-Plate and MPN-Tray
Total coliform and E. coli are indicators for environmental and fecal contamination. The testing kit which contains ready-to-use dehydrated medium has been approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for qualitative detection of total coliform and E. coli simultaneously in drinking water. The detections are based on the presence of two enzymes, β-galactosidase and β-glucuronidase, which are characteristic of total coliform and E. coli. Yellow color development represents the presence of total coliform, and blue fluorescence under a UV light along with yellow color indicates the presence of E. coli.
Evaluation of Improved Automated Rapid Microbiological Assay System
An improved instrument has been developed to automatically detect and record the presence of microorganisms in food and nutraceutical products. The new instrument combined the two legacy instruments, Soleris® and Biolumix® (referred as LI1 and LI2) in one with accompanying new software that monitors pH, carbon dioxide, or fluorescence indicators in real-time, within a novel broth/agar combination vial.
