Is Cell Counting A Good Method For Monitoring Your Fermentors?
The Nalco Yeast Activity Monitor
• It has been used for decades, but ………..• Cell counting is:
– Time consuming • 10-12 minutes per sample
– Subjective and highly variable/person• Lots of opportunity for error and “pencil testing”
• Cell counting samples just a small population– 100’s of yeast cells tested
• YAM evaluates a much larger population– 1,000,000’s of yeast cells
Would you like to know more about an alternative?

The Nalco Yeast Activity Monitor
Why Use It?
• Provides a direct measure of yeast activity:– During propagation & fermentation
• The YAM measures only viable (vs live/dead) cells• The YAM also measures cell vitality
– Metabolic rate (Old person vs young person)
• The YAM data correlates accurately to real ethanol production
• The YAM is capable of running up to four samples at the same time in one piece of equipment– Vs one cell count per microscope

The Nalco Yeast Activity Monitor
• The YAM generates precise and accurate data
• All data is: – Logged– Readable on any computer– Can be shared via e-mail– Can communicate with the
DCS • The YAM is great for
determining optimum drop time in yeast propagation process – Better timing means increased
productivity
Why Use It?

The Nalco Yeast Activity Monitor
• Establish site specific fermentation trends
• Identify abnormal fermentation conditions– Confirm bacteria
infections earlier
• Use for trials on: – new yeast strains– New enzymes or
antibiotics– New nutrient sources, etc.
