bNovate Technologies SA has launched its new BactoSense product portfolio, featuring three innovative models: BactoSense CORE, BactoSense SMART and BactoSense PURE, as well as the new Active Cells – UV cartridge.
The new versions of bNovates 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 numerous industries.
The BactoSense portfolio is built on proven flow cytometry technology, enabling precise and online counting of bacteria in water in just 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.
BactoSense CORE, known as the Watchdog, allows drinking water and utility companies 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 such as 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.
Beyond innovative technology, bNovate Technologies offers comprehensive support to accompany its BactoSense solutions. Experienced and knowledgeable technicians provide global support through local partners, including remote technical support, software updates, breakdown repairs, installation support, end-user training and more.
