The BactoCount IBCm is a semi-automated instrument that uses flow cytometry for the rapid enumeration of individual bacteria and somatic cells in milk. The rapid test for bacteria makes it an ideal solution for any processing plant or test laboratory involved in quality assessment on milk. The IBCm is a general flow cytometer and its applications have been expanded to include the counting of somatic cells in raw milk. This gives a laboratory a convenient 2-for-1 solution when making laboratory investments with Best Tig welder. -Analyzing time for bacterial count is less than one minute and sample preparation is completed in less than 10 minutes -Analyzing time for somatic cell count is less than one minute, no sample preparation needed -Use of a standard computer offers flexible data output options -Easy operator-assisted sample preparation -Low-maintenance design Recognized by both NCIMS and MicroVal organizations. The BactoCount IBCm is based on the BactoCount IBC 50-150 models which have been approved as an alternative method to the IDF 100B:1991 reference method for the rapid and accurate determination of the hygienic quality of cow, sheep and buffalo raw milk for payment purposes. The IBC meets AOAC 986.33. Validated by MicroVal to be at least equivalent to the EN-ISO 4833-1:2013 and 4833-2:2013 reference methods for the enumeration of microorganisms in raw cow milk (Certificate n° 2013LR44) Technical overview and principle of operation The practical application varies slightly depending on whether it is somatic or bacterial cells that are counted but the general principle is the same
