Quality in enumeration
Based on a simple technology, TEMPO® provides accurate results and requires very short preparation time. It demonstrates high flexibility in terms of throughput and can suit every lab’s needs.
It requires 2 ergonomic stations to perform the enumeration :
Preparation station to inoculate TEMPO® cards with your food samples andculture media
- TEMPO® culture media allow rapid bacterial growth and contain afluorescent indicator
- The TEMPO® card is a miniaturization of the Most Probable Number method that comprises 16*3 tubes in a single consumable
- Reading station to evaluate the number of CFU/g in the initial product
- Based on the number and size of the positive wells (fluorescent or non-fluorescent), the TEMPO® instrument uses statistical methods to calculate the number of microorganisms present in the initial sample
Increased laboratory performance
With the rapid and fully automated TEMPO® system, increase your productivity and improve your routine enumeration operations:
SIMPLIFIED WORKFLOW
- Automated transfers of “to-do” lists and results between TEMPO® and your LIMS
- Preparation phase is 2 to 3 times more rapid than with traditional methods
SECURED DATA
- Full traceability is ensured : simplified audits and improved data quality
ENHANCED REACTIVITY
- Results are exported more rapidly to customers and product is released earlier
Preparation station :
- TEMPO® Filler instrument for inoculating and sealing the cards (photo)
