Evaluation of GENE-UP® and TEMPO®
To Detect and Enumerate Contaminants in Chocolate and Chocolate Products
October 15, 2021
Chocolate and chocolate products have long proven to be difficult to test for quality due to naturally occurring PCR inhibitors for pathogen detection and dark colorants that can interfere with accurate enumeration. However, advances in technology have made it possible for manufacturers to test for contaminants much more quickly. bioMérieux offers GENE-UP®, a real-time PCR method, and TEMPO®, an automated enumeration solution, to detect contaminants reliably and rapidly.
