Bacteriophages are viruses that can infect bacteria. Manufacture of products such as cheese, sour cream and buttermilk requires the use of lactic acid bacteria susceptible to be infected. In order to avoid infection, it is important to determine the bacteriophages concentration in the environment and implement measures to control their levels.

In this new application note, discover how the Coriolis Compact air sampler has been used to collect microorganisms as small as bacteriophages and became a useful tool for monitoring phages concentration and better schedule decontamination treatments.
