Quality in enumeration

Based on a simple technology, TEMPO® provides accurate results and requires very short preparation time. It demonstrates high flexibility in terms of throughput and can suit every lab’s needs.

It requires 2 ergonomic stations to perform the enumeration:

Preparation station to inoculate TEMPO® cards with your food samples andculture media

TEMPO® culture media allow rapid bacterial growth and contain afluorescent indicator
The TEMPO® card is a miniaturization of the Most Probable Number method that comprises 16*3 tubes in a single consumable
Reading station to evaluate the number of CFU/g in the initial product
Based on the number and size of the positive wells (fluorescent or non-fluorescent), the TEMPO® instrument uses statistical methods to calculate the number of microorganisms present in the initial sample

Increased laboratory performance

With the rapid and fully automated TEMPO® system, increase your productivity and improve your routine enumeration operations:

SIMPLIFIED WORKFLOW

Automated transfers of “to-do” lists and results between TEMPO® and your LIMS
Preparation phase is 2 to 3 times more rapid than with traditional methods
