Microbial Activity Measurement System : Microbial Activity Measurement System Antares / Spica / Leonis
Capable of monitoring microbial growth activity in real time
This system measures “heat” generated from microbial cells in real time and evaluates the microbial growth activity. Even if a sample is non-uniform including solid or liquid, the system can measure in a non-destructive manner without changing the sample’s original shape
Features
• Capable of measuring samples with every kind of shapes in a non- destructive manner
• Capable of simultaneous measurement of up to 19 samples
• Real-time monitoring
• Capable of growth rate constant
• Rapid measurement of 100% inhibition concentration MIC
Applications
• Monitor how food goes rotten and how preservative is effective
• Study on food fermentation/brewing
• Development of a wide variety of antibacterial
• Preservative study of cosmetics
• Refined evaluation of effect of medication
