EVO Trace CO2
EVO-TRACE CO₂ is a laboratory instrument designed to detect microbial contamination by measuring trace levels of carbon dioxide in the headspace of sealed containers. Using non-destructive laser spectroscopy, it identifies CO₂ changes caused by microbial growth—particularly useful for products in quarantine or packaging not suitable for visual inspection. Ideal for dairy applications, EVO-TRACE CO₂ offers faster spoilage detection than traditional methods, with results possible within 24 hours at just 1 CFU/mL contamination.
