Neogen® Soleris® Total Viable Count Vials, 100/Box

The Neogen Total Viable Count (TVC) Vial is a crucial tool for quality assurance in the food processing industry, enabling effective screening of total viable counts and sterility testing in food products, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics, with an assay time of 22 hours for most samples. As bacteria and other microorganisms grow, the carbon dioxide (CO2) produced diffuses through a membrane into a soft agar plug with a dye indicator, which changes color and is measured by the instrument, while the membrane barrier eliminates product interference. In a study validated by the AOAC Research Institute Performance Tested Method SM License # 071203, the Soleris NF-TVC vial was shown to accurately determine total aerobic counts in a variety of food samples, including raw chicken, deli ham, and cocoa powder, with a test duration of 24 hours, except for cocoa powder, which requires 27 hours. This robust testing method supports compliance with food safety regulations and enhances product integrity in the competitive food processing market.
