Breaking through barriers, AI has arrived - ICON made a brilliant appearance at the 13th Food Microbial Detection and Control Technology Exchange Conference

Food safety is an important issue of great concern to society, which is related to people's physical health and life safety. In the report of the 20th National Congress, it was also proposed to strengthen the supervision of food and drug safety. Microbial contamination is one of the main hazards affecting food safety in China and a common cause of foodborne diseases, greatly endangering people's dietary hygiene and physical health.

20237moon19The 13th Food Microbial Testing and Control Technology Exchange Conference was grandly held in Hefei, and special guests were invited to attend the conference40+Experts, scholars, and representatives from enterprises and institutions in the food industry jointly explore the development trends and latest inspection and testing technologies in the field of food microbiology, in order to promote the high-quality development of the food industry.

Panmai Technology was invited to attend this conference and brought its independently developedICONThe automatic colony counter made its debut at the exhibition and received widespread attention from attendees.

Wonderful Moments

The degree of bacterial contamination in food and its hygiene quality are determined by the total number of colonies, which to some extent represents the hygiene quality of food. However, traditional manual counting can cause counting errors due to the small and dense colonies, which can lead to visual fatigue, repeated counting, difficulty in identifying colonies, or disturbance during the counting process, resulting in incorrect results and affecting experimental progress.

ICONAutomatic colony counterBased on embedded expertiseColony morphology libraryAnd uniqueAlIntelligent Memory Recognition TechnologyReplacing traditional manual counting, it is easy to operate, improves counting accuracy while shortening counting time, and realizes digital management. It is widely used in biomedicine, inspection and quarantine, disease control, quality supervision, environmental monitoring, food hygiene, and microbial colony detection analysis and scientific research in research institutes.

In research related food experiments, colony cultivation is usually carried out, and special bacteria such as anaerobic and microaerophilic bacteria need to be cultured in anaerobic or low oxygen environments. for exampleGB 4789.26-2013According to the requirements of the National Food Safety Standard for Microbiological Inspection of Food and Commercial Aseptic Inspection, low acid canned foods need to be tested simultaneously after sample opening 36℃ and 55Anaerobic cultivation at ℃, but due to the complexity of blister meat cultivation operations and the risk of experimental failure, commercial sterile testing is often a challenge for relevant laboratories.
