Tailored automated microbial monitoring

10 Apr, 2025

The BactoSense flow cytometer from bNovate, brings water microbiology into the digital era, offering real-time detection of bacteria in water with the same ease as monitoring parameters like pH, turbidity, or dissolved oxygen. This system is a trusted and proven solution for water microbial quality control, providing precise bacteria quantification in as little as 20 minutes. This rapid detection enables an immediate response to potential contamination, ensuring water safety. The BactoSense product line is suitable for most types of water in both industrial and drinking water sectors.

Each water quality challenge is unique, which is reflected in the diverse BactoSense portfolio, designed to address specific needs.

BactoSense CORE is ideal for drinking water and utility companies that need to ensure water safety and optimize treatment processes. It features automatic restart, multiple connectivity options, and threshold alarm capabilities, providing an early warning system to detect abnormalities, enabling proactive interventions and data-driven decisions.

For industries that focus on advanced data analysis and process optimization, such as the food and beverage industry, BactoSense SMART offers AI readiness and enhanced data security. This model is designed to improve process efficiency, reduce downtime, and provide faster results through advanced automation.

BactoSense PURE is designed to meet the stringent requirements of industries like pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, medical, and semiconductors. It provides improved data integrity and security for pure water systems, with 21 CFR Part 11-compliant data tracking and primary validation to ensure equivalency to compendial methods.

The new BactoSense Active Cells - UV cartridge enables operators to rapidly monitor the residual activity of bacteria after UV light treatment. With real-time insights, it is possible to reliably detect insufficiencies in treatment barriers and maintain assets with full visibility of disinfection performance.

For those interested in testing these solutions, they can contact the company, where water monitoring experts are available to provide the best advice for their water networks.
