IR Biotyper® for Food Microbiology

Microbial strain typing for rapid source tracking and quality control monitoring

ハイライト

IRBiotyper® - 微生物应变为快速源跟踪和质量控制监测

As the global food chain increases in complexity, so too does the need for rapid, reliable and accurate testing. With food product safety high on every national agenda, easily accessible, failsafe quality control is essential.

Microbial strain typing for source tracking and quality control is an essential step in maintaining food product safety. Bruker’s Fourier Transform - Infra-Red (FT-IR) spectroscopy system, the IR Biotyper®, offers an easy-to-use method for fast and effective microorganism strain typing, with a simple workflow that needs minimal operator training.

主动监测

Hygiene control and source tracking throughout food and beverage production lines requires several steps, from surface sampling to molecular analyses. Adequate monitoring of potential contaminants requires routine fingerprinting of the collected microbial isolates for proactive root cause analyses and corrective actions in sanitation process management. Fast screening prior to Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) helps saving time in setting up a microbial triage for further hygiene study plans.

具有与常规分子遗传方法相当的歧视性,IR Biotyper®meets the above needs, allowing for real-time quality control and source-tracking.

适用于生物技术制造过程

To ensure the quality and consistency of the products derived from beneficial microorganisms, QC strategies are crucial in monitoring biotechnological manufacturing. Strain typing of the technological strains is essential to assure meeting the predefined quality of product intermediates and final product.

With the IR Biotyper®, strain typing and data analyses are achieved in less than three hours, enabling real-time monitoring of technological processes.

特長

IR spectral range

The IR Biotyper®system analyses typical molecular vibrations caused by the absorption of infrared light. The absorption bands are assigned to certain chemical structures, whereas the wavelength range of the carbohydrates play the major role for strain differentiation or contributes most to differentiate. The new IR Biotyper®软件版本3.1扩展了系统的光谱范围,还包括脂质和肽,以揭示应变分化的进一步选择。

快速分析

Tracking potential contaminants in food requires routine fingerprinting of microbial isolates. The IR Biotyper®offers fast sample preparation of up to 30 microbial isolates in only 30 minutes. With high discriminatory power for routine testing, one full run (with 96 spot positions) delivers results within three hours.

This speed of response allows manufacturers to identify quickly the cause of contamination and promptly establish a course of corrective action.

Predefined classification

With the latest launched software version (IR Biotyper®3.1), microbial strains commonly found in food and beverage products can be classified as an immediate match, using previously build classifiers.
This classification model, based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), allows users to continually build up and train their system with common findings in food and beverage applications for improved classification power.

Powerful integration

最大化食品质量检测实验室,IR Biotyper的效率®3.1可以与Bruker的市场领先Maldi Biotyper集成®(MBT)系统使用MALDI-TOF质谱法。这种强大的组合将MBT的快速微生物识别能力统计到无缝工作流程中的IR菌株。
