Optimal for in-process quality managementof raw materials and intermediate products
for the introduction of HACCP
1 Simple to use
This system is easy for anyone to use, andrequires no specialized expertise. The process
takes only three steps.

2 Can be used for controllinga variety of processes
Our unique “FES™” separation technology* isused in this system to rapidly evaluate the risk of
microbial contamination in manufacturing
environments, intermediate and end products.

3 Microbial count automaticallymeasured
The number of microbes captured by thededicated disposable chip can be automaticallymeasured using our dedicated software.
You can output the measurement results as anillustrated report.
*: “FES” stands for “Fluid, Electric filtering and Sorting” technology.

International patent pending in theU.S.A., Europe and China

Rapid detection system for
microbial contamination risk monitoring

Revolutionize inspection with "Filtration" technology

How canSeparation, capturing andrecovery of microparticles
using our unique “FESTM*”
technology

be applied?
Can be used as an indicator to monitor the risk of microbial
contamination in manufacturing processes.
Useful in screening tests that indicate the presence of
health-related and environmental microbes.
Useful for intermediate product in-process quality
identification of beneficial microbes (such as
lactobacillus).

Capturing andrecovering deadbacteria

Capture and recover contaminants (bacteria in a non-livingstate) as part of complaint handling recovery, and use
them in a PCR analysis to identify causes.
For confirming the validity of a product design throughmonitoring the number of non-living bacteria in heatedproducts, cosmetics and so on.

Separated cells
and microbes

As fluorescent dyes are not used for measuring separation,
the total microbial count for analytes that include
autofluorescent ingredients can be measured.
The stress applied to the captured sample is kept to aminimum, allowing the captured bacteria to be recovered,cultured and examined.

*: “FES” stands for “Fluid, Electricfiltering and Sorting” technology.
