The experimentation team is designed to simulate industrial heat treatments that receive food and drugs
A dozen units of the thermometer resistor patented by a group of UPCT researchers have been sold to laboratories in Spain, France, the Netherlands, Morocco and Panama.
The experimentation team has achieved the CE marking for its commercialization thanks to a Seneca Foundation project.
The equipment, called Mastia, is used to determine the heat resistance of microorganisms and compounds of interest (such as vitamins, proteins, etc.,) present in food and medicine and is configured to simulate the heat treatments performed in the food industries and pharmaceutical.
"Our thermometer resistor speeds up experiments to determine heat resistance and avoids contamination risks that other similar, much more laborious methods have," explains researcher Alfredo Palop, team developer with Pablo Fernández, Arturo Esnoz and José Fermín Brown.
The possibility of inoculating microorganisms in the samples, the programming of tests and the sterilization of the container vessel are some of the characteristics of the equipment, which also has a touch screen and safety measures as established by European Community regulations.
The CE marking for the thermometer resistor was the objective of the project 'CE marking of the Mastia thermometer resistor, ref.
