Benefits of the Oculer Y&M assay
Oculer supplies Y&M vials containing a proprietary medium, developed in-house, which is gamma-irradiated and ready for use; no further Quality Assurance is required. The medium contains antibacterial agents which not only prevent the growth of bacteria but also inhibit their respiration.
The Oculer system is capable of detecting a single mould spore in 10 ml of sample even in the presence of high background levels of lactic acid bacteria, which are added either for their probiotic effect or as cultures to inhibit mould growth. The Oculer Y&M assay is used successfully for a wide range of matrices and is supported by our dedicated customer support team.
How It Works
The Oculer Rapid 930 Series is a dual-function incubator/reader that, when combined with our bioengineered culture media and our precision oxygen depletion sensor forms a completely integrated package for food spoilage organisms.
