BactoCount optimal standardization for worldwide results equivalence

The measuring principle of the BactoCount series is based on the determination of individual bacteria (IBC) in raw milk by flow cytometry. The milk is mixed with a proprietary incubation solution, heated to 50°C and subjected to ultrasonic treatment to clarify the milk matrix, reduce potentially interfering elements and break down the bacteria colonies to detect individual bacteria. Once the bacteria are detected, a conversion equation is applied to convert the individual bacteria (IBC) into colonies (CFU) to express the results in the same scale of the ISO 4833 reference method.

The development of a robust conversion equation is time consuming and costly. The excellent standardization of the BactoCount series has enabled us to develop reliable and robust “European” and “Universal” conversion equations to achieve international results equivalence for the determination of total flora in raw milk.

In order to secure the optimal worldwide standardization of the BactoCount series, we have developed a ready-to-use microsphere SRM to check very easily and quickly the optimal alignment of the flow cytometer and overall functionning of the equipment in order to be able to apply our universal conversion equation.
