Neogen Soleris Direct Yeast and Mould (DYM) test

Neogen Corporation has received approval from the AOAC Research Institute for its rapid test to directly detect yeast and mould in a variety of food matrices such as dressings, sauces, pet food, dairy products, fruit and vegetable-based products and nutraceuticals.

Neogen’s Soleris Direct Yeast and Mould (DYM) test produces accurate results in only 48 hours; conventional yeast and mould methods can take up to five days. This test is designed for use in the Soleris rapid microbiology system, which accelerates and monitors microbial growth for faster time to results, the company says.

Rapid microbiology can help eliminate costly and time-consuming microbial testing bottlenecks. The system lets users screen raw materials or environments for early detection of contamination or positive release of product.
