Red One™ is an automated platform for rapid and quantitative microbiological detection.

A 2-step sterility testing method has been developed in accordance with USP <71> and Ph. Eur. 2.6.1.

• Filtrable products: strictly based on sample preparation in standard double-canister device
• Non-filtrable products: direct inoculation in bottles
• Incubation: 4 days for LOD= 1 CFU (Ph. Eur. 2.6.1) or 24h for LOD < 100 CFU (Ph. Eur. 2.6.27)

• Sampling 1mL from each canister
• Dropping onto RedCaps (touch-free membrane)
• Analysis on Red One™: 10 minutes per RedCap

For cellular matrices, a cell separation step is added before analysis on Red One™.

Based on the new generation of solid phase cytometry technology, Red One™ detects viable cells by using advanced image processing techniques to track and analyze the assimilation of staining agents by the targeted cells (enzymatic labeling).

This 10-minute real-time fluorescence analysis enables a very reliable differentiation of targeted viable cells from inert particles and provides an unprecedented level of sensitivity.

• Easy: Ready to use. No calibration is required. Drop the sample on the cap and close the drawer. Filtration, staining, and analysis are automated.
• Precise: Direct counting of cells in 1ml - after enrichment phase in compendial liquid media
• Rapid: Analysis performed on Red One™ in 10 min. TTR= 4 days for LOD=1 CFU.
• Post-analysis identification: In case of a positive result, identification with traditional methods remains possible.
