Petrifilm® Plates provide dairy laboratories with a streamlined solution for microbial indicator testing. Designed to reduce manual steps and improve throughput, these plates deliver rapid, consistent results for raw milk, finished dairy products, and environmental samples.

When combined with the Petrifilm® Plate Reader Advanced and Plate Manager Software, labs can automate colony counting and data management. This reduces enumeration time by up to 94%, boosts technician efficiency, and frees valuable lab space compared to traditional agar methods.

The Microbial Luminescence System (MLS) is a rapid microbial detection system using ATP bioluminescence in a microwell based system to detect the presence of microbial ATP in Ultra Heat Treated (UHT) and Extended Shelf Life (ESL) dairy and dairy end products. It is a universal kit for rapid end-product screening.

It allows rapid assessment of Ultra Heat Treated (UHT) or Extended Shelf Life (ESL) milk and sterile dairy samples that have already been incubated within their pack. This is a rapid alternative to traditional microbiological assessment of these samples.

At dairy processing plants, analysing inbound raw materials for aflatoxin M1 quickly and accurately is critical to keep you operation running smoothly and reducing the risk of product rejection.

Our lateral flow and ELISA solutions offer a variety of sensitivities to best meet your needs. Our multi-format testing detects residues, including alkaline phosphatase for pasteurisation efficacy and aflatoxin M1.

Neogen®’s Megazyme suite of products for the dairy and infant formula industries are used in quality control processes globally. Our assay kits and reagents ensure product quality and help meet regulatory and labelling requirements.

Soleris® Next Generation is a rapid, automated microbial detection system designed to speed up decision-making and product release. It uses non-destructive testing to detect microbial contamination faster than traditional plating methods.

The system includes ready-to-use vials and a dedicated instrument for easy testing, with a broad portfolio of assays suitable for dairy products. Neogen offers local support to help you implement Soleris® into your dairy testing process.

Confidently test for a wide range of pathogens, including Salmonella, Listeria, and E. coli, across products, equipment, and surfaces with our innovative solutions. Choose from traditional culture media or the powerful Neogen® Molecular Detection System, depending on your needs.

Our rapid mycotoxin testing solutions help you safeguard your operation from harmful toxins like aflatoxin M1 on-site detection solutions. Make faster, data-driven decisions with our easy-to-use testing options, preventing contaminated products from reaching consumers.

Neogen’s environmental monitoring solutions help dairy processors verify cleaning, detect potential risks early, and support regulatory compliance. The Clean-Trace Hygiene Monitoring System provides fast, reliable ATP results with easy-to-use swabs and a handheld luminometer. The AccuPoint Advanced NG system offers on-site testing for surfaces and liquids, helping confirm cleaning effectiveness.

These systems can be used alongside Neogen’s full range of sample collection tools, including swabs, sponges, and scrub samplers designed to collect thorough environmental samples, even in areas with biofilm buildup. Neogen Analytics helps track hygiene trends, identify risks sooner, and simplify compliance reporting across your facility.

With our Colitag™ water testing solution, you can easily test dairy source water for Total Coliforms and E. coli. Best of all, the test is easy to interpret, offering presence-absence results. With the appropriate testing, you can help prevent harmful environmental impacts, reduce the risk of recalls, and increase your confidence in your final product.
