novaLUM II-X System
Industries
- Dairy
- Feed and Grain
- On the Farm
- Food & Beverage
- Water
- Healthcare
The novaLUM II-X system brings together Charm’s trusted ATP (adenosine triphosphate) detection technology and sophisticated new novaLINK 5 software to create a powerful system that makes sanitation verification, corrective action, and documentation easier than ever.
With the novaLUM II-X system you can optimize your real-time sanitation monitoring and can easily utilize collect data to evaluate and improve your sanitation program. With an effective sanitation program, you will be able to reduce microbial challenges, improve product quality, reduce customer complaints, extend product shelf life, and protect your brand from product recalls.
In conjunction with Charm’s PocketSwab Plus, FieldSwab, WaterGiene, and AllerGiene tests, the novaLUM II-X system is used for sanitation and allergen control, pasteurization verification, and pesticide screening. In just five seconds, the novaLUM II-X system is able to detect even the lowest levels of ATP contamination.
The novaLUM II-X system syncs data from the instrument to local or corporate databases and can identify and report failing swab sites during sanitation for immediate management review. The novaLINK 5 software identifies locations that repeatedly fail and creates randomized sampling plans based on risk assessment. Targeting areas with sanitation deficiencies helps to control sanitation costs and investigate SSOP. Automated reporting streamlines corrective action through the novaLUM II-X system, providing documentation to meet the requirements of third-party audits, i.e. SQF, BRC, and FSSC.
Benefits
- Detects ATP in 5 seconds
- Syncs and reports results in real-time via WiFi
- Utilizes data to create SMART Plans
- Provides documentation for third party audits

Charm EZ-M System
Industries
- Feed & Grain
Perform Real-time Analysis on Raw Ingredients
The Charm EZ-M system was the feed & grain industry’s first available combined incubator and reader. The Charm EZ-M reads any quantitative ROSA mycotoxin strip used for grain testing including tests for aflatoxin, DON (vomitoxin), fumonisin, ochratoxin, T-2 / HT-2 toxins, and zearalenone that are FGIS certified for multiple commodities. Each of these mycotoxin tests has a different color strip for automatic identification on the Charm EZ-M system.
Testing is so fast and simple that many facilities use the Charm EZ-M system to perform real-time analysis on raw ingredients as part of acceptance testing. By screening grains in the receiving area, food manufacturers can be assured that raw materials are of an acceptable quality.
The Charm EZ-M System:
- Is fully customizable to meet your facility’s needs. Only the tests, commodities, and dilutions for the specific detection levels you run appear. Use to incubate and read tests; or, to perform batch testing, externally incubate multiple tests and read results in the Charm EZ-M system.
- Will self-diagnose common errors, such as re-running the same strip or adding too much sample.
- Provides data redundancy and convenient transfer to external computers. The internal memory backs up 8000 test results; the SD card stores over 100,000 test results. Results are transferred to a PC using a standard USB cable, wirelessly, or with the SD card reader. Results can also be transferred to a LIMS network.
- Is configured in your choice of languages.
Benefits
- Runs any quantitative ROSA mycotoxin test, including USDA-FGIS approved tests
- Automatically selects the correct incubation time, temperature, and calibration settings
- Displays only the tests, commodities, and dilutions that your facility uses
- Combined incubator and reader
- Can be used with external incubators to read test results in a batched sample mode

EPIC
Industries
- Dairy
- Food & Beverage
The Charm EPIC system is a microplate bioluminescence system that predicts spoilage in shelf-stable, ultra high temperature (UHT), and extended shelf life (ESL) beverage products.
EPIC detects ATP, a bio-marker of microbiological quality. The EPIC system can screen beverage products in as little as 24 to 36 hours.
The product is incubated in its original package (PET bottle, carton, single serve) to accelerate the microbial growth of any bacteria present. After incubation, samples are pipetted into a microplate and inserted in the EPIC system. EPIC automatically performs reagent additions, incubations, readings, and analysis. Data is managed by EPICLink software, which provides real-time analysis, trending, and editing capabilities.
Products that can be tested include white milks, flavored milks, soy beverages, creams, yogurt-based drinks, lactose-free milk, ice cream and shake mixes, rice milk, condensed milk, broths, and nutritional drinks.
Benefits
- Fast results reduce warehouse hold times
- Only 24 to 36 hours incubation needed for most products
- Thirty minutes testing time for a full 96-well plate
- Patented microplate mask eliminates interference between wells
- Reagents are sized so that all can be changed at the same time without waste
