Total flora proficiency testing – ISO 17043 (IBC)
Every month, we organize an international proficiency testing program on total bacteria (IBC), ISO 17043 certified and conducted in partnership with Actalia-Cecalait, the French reference laboratory.
This unique program ensures the optimal standardization of your BactoCount milk bacteria counter and guarantees the global equivalence of IBC and CFU results through our universal conversion equation.
Agiflex 270
With the combination of the BactoCount IBCm 3.0 milk bacteria counter and the Agiflex 270, sample preparation becomes fully standardized.
The Agiflex 270 is a compact unit designed for upside-down agitation of all types of containers such as sample trays, vials, and tubes. Its rotation speed is adjustable from 17 to 52 revolutions per minute, ensuring optimal homogenization of samples before analysis.
