CS-CHECK … Automated Commercial Sterility Testing System for All Matrices

Oculer’s CS-Check commercial sterility test combines assay speed with greatly increased sensitivity (particularly of stressed cells, slow growing organisms and spore formers). CS-Check simultaneously detects bacteria and moulds - something which many other tests can't do.

CS-Check only detects those organisms that will actually grow in the customer’s product under test. When CS-Check was compared to traditional plating techniques, not only was it found to be more sensitive but it was also more accurate in that only organisms that were able to grow in particular products were detected by the Oculer system. Pour plates frequently result in a dilution of the inhibitors that prevent contaminants growing in the product - resulting in false positives. Oculer is unaffected by this phenomenon.
