Aren’t we all worried about the safety and quality of our food and other edible and consumer products? Imagine if you could get your hands on an advanced machine which would quickly detect the different kinds of microorganisms that threaten the quality and safety of our cuisine. What if we told you there’s a premium quality machine, which can detect yeast and mold in your food? Excited?

Well, Neogen’s new rapid microbiology testing unit Soleris Next Generation (NG) is one of the most popular machines which help in rapid methods of microbial detection. The machines are quick, sensitive and precise. Thanks to the advanced mechanisms, the machines can even detect Alicyclobacillus, a bacterium in the fruit juice within just 48 hours, compared to the five days of other methods. 

Also known as alternative microbiological methods, rapid microbial methods (RMMs) are the technology through which the user will get the microbiology test results faster when compared with the traditional culture methods.

The use of rapid microbiological methods (RMMs) is increasingly gaining popularity in the biotech, pharmaceutical, personal care, and cosmetic manufacturing industries. But before you purchase a rapid microbiology testing unit, you should also be clear about your requirements. In this article, let us help you in a guided fashion, how you can choose the right rapid microbiology testing unit.

Identify your requirements: 

You need to identify your needs and know the purpose of the need. The quality control departments should know the key “needs” that are most crucial to streamline the workflow and business. Your requirement may vary from vendor expertise, sample compatibility and ease of implementation can vary from organization to organization.

Compare with other rapid microbiological methods

The next step is to locate the other rapid microbiological methods (RMMs) available in the market and which options align with your goals and manufacturing processes. For example: The Soleris NG system has the ability to provide rapid and accurate microbiological answers in a complete system approach. The system features 32-vial incubating drawers and those are integrated with a secure software package.

Keep rapid detection technology in mind

Your next step is to identify which rapid microbiological methods (RMM) products align best with your goals. You need to compare their weaknesses and strengths. The present generation of rapid microbiology technology instruments can either be quantitative or qualitative. They can further be categorized by the type of detection technology they employ.

Plan your RMM strategy carefully

How rapid microbial methods (RMMs) are being implemented into the manufacturing process differ from one industry to another. You need to gather all relevant information to execute your preferred technology and build contact with regulatory agencies. If you want rapid microbiological methods (RMMs) to be approved for routine testing, then they must be validated first.

Rapid microbiological methods (RMMs) provide a lot of opportunities for pharmaceutical companies to obtain data that may be more important than that obtained via traditional methods. The methods are also said to be more cost effective, and if you are looking for a premium rapid microbiology testing unit to protect the quality and safety of food, then head to our stall at Arablab 2021 in Dubai starting November 15.
