The hygiene/food testing device is a mobile measuring device for water activity. Water activity indicates the amount of water that is biologically available to microorganisms such as bacteria, mold or similar. Each type of microorganism has a minimum value for water activity below which growth is no longer possible. The higher the aw value of a food, the more perishable it is. Bacteria usually require a water activity of over 0.98, but significantly lower water activities of up to 0.6 can also be tolerated by extremely halophilic bacteria, for example.
The hygiene / food testing device has a measuring range of 0.01 aw ... 1 aw with a high accuracy of ±0.03 aw. The measuring attachment is magnetic so that the sample can be measured safely and protected from light. The hygiene/food testing device comes with 3 sample trays with which many foods can be quickly tested for shelf life. In addition, 2 AAA 1.5V batteries are required to operate the hygiene/food testing device. The hygiene/food testing device is used in the food industry, for testing water activity in laboratories, in seed storage and other areas.
