The Pullach start-up, FreshDetect GmbH, has celebrated a further success with its innovative and unique handheld for split-second quality measurement of meat: A long article in the ¡°Süddeutsche Zeitung¡± newspaper ¡°High-flier – Illuminating freshness¡± (¡°Gipfelstürmer – Das Leuchten der Frische¡±) introduces the young company and its intelligent test method in detail!
Without expensive and time-consuming laboratory samples, the BFD-100 handheld measures the plate count on raw meat within a few seconds with the help of an optical method: Special LEDs shine a light on the surface of the meat. The surface and metabolic products of the bacteria in turn ¡°reply by means of light¡±. The generated measured values of the meat just examined are compared with stored database values from laboratory samples and a reliable statement can be made regarding the ¡°shelf life¡±.
The success of FreshDetect proves yet again, that it pays to support young companies along the supply chain! Lacon has now been working gladly with the ¡°newcomers on the market¡± for more than 10 years.
