bNovate Technologies SA announced the launch of its new BactoSense product portfolio, featuring three innovative models: BactoSense CORE, BactoSense SMART and BactoSense PURE, and the new Active Cells – UV cartridge.
The new versions of its automated analysers for online microbiological monitoring of water represent a significant advancement in water quality management, offering tailored solutions to meet the unique challenges of various industries.
The BactoSense portfolio is built on proven flow cytometry technology, enabling precise and online counting of bacteria in water in only 20 minutes. Fully automated and capable of continuous analysis, BactoSense units provide near real-time monitoring of microbiological changes in water, alerting users in the event of anomalies. This ensures proactive water quality management, enhancing safety and efficiency across different sectors.
Meet the new BactoSense portfolio
BactoSense CORE, known as the watchdog, is the ideal choice for drinking water and utility companies that need to ensure water safety and optimise treatment processes. With its automatic restart, multiple connectivity options and threshold alarm capabilities, BactoSense CORE offers an early warning system to detect abnormalities, enabling data-driven decisions and proactive interventions.
For industries focused on advanced data analysis and process optimisation, such as Food and Beverage (F&B) and industrial water applications, the BactoSense SMART, aka the explorer, offers unique features like forward scatter, audit trail and user management functionalities. This model is designed to improve process efficiency, reduce downtime and provide faster results through advanced automation.
BactoSense PURE, the protector, is designed to meet the stringent requirements of the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, medical and semiconductor industries. It provides unmatched security for pure water generation, storage, distribution and disinfection systems with its compliance to 21 CFR FDA Part 11 and primary validation as per Ph. Eur. 5.1.6. It serves as a risk management and compliance tool, maximising savings and enhancing brand trust.
At the heart of BactoSense technology lies an innovative cartridge system designed for safety, convenience and sustainability. The cartridges contain all reagents and liquids necessary to count bacteria in water. They require no manipulation or contact with chemicals and their waste. Integrated with flow cytometry technology, they offer unparalleled ease of use and reliability. In addition to the already available Total Cells and Intact Cells cartridges, the new Active Cells – UV cartridge is an industry breakthrough allowing validation of UV disinfection. This new cartridge measures bacteria with metabolic activity. The Active Cells – UV cartridge offers great durability and long autonomy, lasting up to 700 measurements.
