hey guys,

 

I was wondering if there is a quicker test for yeast/mold out there?

Quicker than 48 hours

 

Thanks :)

I only know of the rapid 2 day Y/M test. If there is a quicker test, I would love to know as well.

Visual.

Is the product solid or liquid?
For the latter you could look at some of the rapid flow cytometry systems.

For your cheese?

This says "same day results for direct testing", also:

• Clear yes-or-no results in as little as 6 hours for highly contaminated samples; 50 hours for most other matrices

 

Then again if it's only useful for rapid testing on highly contaminated samples and provides a yes/no only, I imagine you could conclude that visually :huh: 

Anyway, may be worth a look or enquiring with Hygiena, I use them for ATP and Listeria snap swabbing and they're quite helpful.

yes it is for my cheese company. :)

thank you zanorias

I will look into that.

I like hygiena also. I used them at my other company. I loved their ATP machine.

 

I was thinking...you can't really "rush" yeast and mold growth. Or any microorganisms.

I'm sure like most people's bosses..they want results like ASAP!

 

Thanks for your help guys!

 Indeed; I'm sure with technological advancements in future there will become available quicker detection and analysis methods. Though I imagine if, say, a 3 hour comprehensive test is available, the company seniors will then be asking if a 30 minute test exists.

Bosses wanting everything and immediately - sounds about right :whistle:
