(MOCON: Minneapolis) -- Cleanroom operators will now be able to detect the presence of extremely low levels of microbial cells on surfaces much faster than with traditional solutions. This cleanroom testing capability is a result of a global marketing agreement between MOCON Inc. and Particle Measuring Systems.

MOCON’s GreenLight system has a proven track record in reliability, sensitivity, and speed across many industry applications. It requires a fraction of the time needed by traditional plate-counting methods to achieve results. The agreement gives Particle Measuring Systems exclusive rights to market GreenLight technology to pharmaceutical companies worldwide.

Particle Measuring Systems has developed the SurCapt Microbial Surface Detection Kit, using GreenLight technology. This provides an all-inclusive, ready-to-use solution which simplifies and accelerates environmental surface testing for biological contamination. The design of the SurCapt kit reduces the likelihood of sample cross-contamination and mishandling by the operator.
