INDuSTRY PRODuCTS The AdvanChek x-ray system’s small and flexible footprint enables easy integration into any production line. Washdown protected enclosure is built to NEMA 12 specifications and is upgradeable to NEMA 4X suitable for high pressure, hot, caustic washdown environments. All material handling and reject systems are custom designed and manufactured in-house specific to each application. Easy to operate, flexible design, modular construction and improved reliability ensure low start up costs and the lowest lifetime costs of any x-ray system on the market. Mettler-Toledo Safeline 800.447.4439 Tampa, FL www.mt.com/safelineus approved expert laboratories demonstrated equivalent results between the alternative test method and the traditional standardized method. This certification meets all the requirements of European regulation 2073/2005 relating to microbiological criteria applicable to food. “Our goal is to help food companies improve their productivity and profitability with fast, accurate diagnostic tests,” said Doris Engesser-Sudlow, EMEA business leader for DuPont Qualicon. “The AFNOR VALIDATION mark provides another level of highly credible assurance that they can use the BAX® system for quick, convenient and reliable results.” Food processing companies around the world rely on the BAX® system to detect pathogens or other organisms in raw ingredients, finished products and environmental samples. The automated system uses leading-edge technology, including polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays, tableted reagents and optimized media, to detect Salmonella, Listeria, Listeria monocytogenes, E. coli O157:H7, Enterobacter sakazakii, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus aureus and yeast and mold. With certifications and regulatory approvals in the Americas, Asia and Europe, the BAX® system is recognized globally as the most advanced pathogen testing system available to food companies. DuPont Qualicon 302.695.5300 Wilmington, DE www.qualicon.com Mettler-Toledo Safeline X-ray Inspection System for Packaged Products from Mettler-Toledo Safeline M ettler-Toledo Safeline introduces AdvanChek – a revolutionary, cost-effective x-ray contaminant inspection system for packaged products. AdvanChek brings the easy operation and reliability inherent in Safeline metal detectors to x-ray inspection. AdvanChek is economical yet delivers Mettler-Toledo Safeline Safeline’s hallmark qualities of high sensitivity, accuracy, and reliability. Using unique low energy x-ray technology, the AdvanChek x-ray inspection system reliably detects and rejects many contaminants including metal, stone, glass, and bone. With a sophisticated, user-intuitive color touch screen interface, the system requires minimal training – operators will be comfortable operating AdvanChek in less than 30 minutes due to its unique automatic set-up feature. AdvanChek’s modular design has three main modules that are quickly replaceable ensuring maximum uptime. BAX® System 24E Assays Certified by AFNOR from DuPont Qualicon wo new PCR assays from DuPont Qualicon have received AFNOR certification as alternative methods for detecting Listeria and Listeria monocytogenes. These BAX® system 24E assays, developed in collaboration with Oxoid, Ltd., use optimized enrichment media to provide nextday test results from food and environmental samples. AFNOR Certification is an internationally recognized European system that validates food testing methods according to the EN ISO 16140 protocol.
