Food samples are placed in disposable sterile culture bottles for monitoring. Each bottle contains an internal colo¬ rimetric sensor that detects carbon dioxide (CO2) as a measure of microbial growth. Once samples are placed into the unit, no further handling is necessary until the completion of the test cycle. The BacT/Alert®de- tection unit is available in two sizes—the standard cabinet which accommodates 240 culture bottles; and the BacT/Alert®120, which accommodates 120 culture bottles. • Faster Time to Detection Reduces • Walk-Away Operation Provides Reaction Time Labor Savings • 10 mL Sample Volume Provides • Extensive Data Management System Superior Sensitivity Reports And Trend Analyses • Bar-Coded Sample Tracking Simpli¬ fies Data Entry and Reduces Errors “See us at IFT in the AKZO NOBEL Booth #2221” Organon Teknika Corp., 100 Akzo Avenue, Durham, NC 27712 (800) 682-2666 lAMnS Sustaining M«inb«r Sm us at Iha 1996 lAMFES Annual Mooting, Booth No. 601 Roodor Sorvko No. 233 MAY 1996 - Dairy, Food ond Environmental Sonttalioa 277 DAIRY.
