Precision, accuracy and innovation supporting food safety
Imagine a glass tube containing fluorescent strains to help you with your microbiological quality control. Strains that would be easily distinguishable from natural contaminants in case of cross-contamination of your routine sample, highly stable and easy to use.

Our new BIOBALL^® LUMINATE 2.0 meets these expectations and even more. Produced in our state-of-the-art laboratories in Australia, the land of agriculture and food, they are specifically designed for food-testing applications, including:

• Positive (daily) controls
• Method validation and verification (ISO 16140-3)
• Performance testing of culture media
• Proficiency testing

Among these applications, the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) gene inserted in the strains makes the confirmation of positive results easier and more reliable by using a specific method (e.g., observation of fluorescence under a UV lamp or PCR VERIFLOW^® GFP) and avoid false positive results. BIOBALL^® LUMINATE 2.0 contains an accurate and precise number of microorganisms and are easy to use as they require no culture.

In order to satisfy the most common needs, BIOBALL^® LUMINATE 2.0 exists for five strains – the most challenging ones in the food industry:

• Salmonella Typhimurium
• Escherichia coli O157:H7
• Cronobacter sakazakii
• Listeria monocytogenes 4b
• Listeria innocua

BIOBALL^® LUMINATE 2.0 is now your best ally to take control of your microbiological quality control.
