How does the DES controller work?
The DES controller measures the degree of germ reduction in disinfection processes. The tool makes it possible to quantify the effect of the applied temperature and/or disinfectants. After use, you send the DES controller to our laboratory. Here we analyze the results and you receive a detailed report on germ reduction. So you know for sure whether your process goals have been achieved or if adjustments are needed.
The indicator organisms in the DES controller are protected by a semipermeable membrane that is mechanically, chemically and thermally resistant. This membrane prevents test bacteria from being washed off the germination media, while water and disinfectants pass unhindered. As a result, the organisms undergo the complete disinfection procedure and the actual degree of germ reduction can be assessed afterwards.
