bNovate Technologies and Best Water Science have signed a nationwide distribution and service agreement to expand real-time water monitoring in the United States.
The agreement will make bNovate’s microbiological water quality monitoring technology more widely available to customers in the food and beverage, industrial water and municipal utility sectors.
Best Water Science, part of the BWT Group, will distribute the BactoSense® portfolio across the US, supporting customers that need faster insight into microbial water quality.
Real-time water monitoring expands across US markets
The partnership is designed to increase access to automated microbiological analysis for organisations managing water quality risks in critical operating environments.
bNovate specialises in real-time microbiological water monitoring, helping water professionals, industrial operators and researchers move from delayed manual laboratory results towards continuous online data.
The company’s BactoSense® technology uses automated flow cytometry to provide rapid bacterial detection and actionable water quality insights.
According to bNovate, the technology supports microbial analysis for drinking water, industrial processes and other applications where reliable water quality information is required.
BactoSense® distribution agreement supports microbial water quality control
Under the agreement, Best Water Science will provide distribution and service support for the BactoSense® portfolio in the United States.
Pierre Balidas, Chief Technology Officer representing Best Water Science, said the company aims to offer customers high-quality products and services for water treatment, adding that bNovate’s technology supports hygiene safety and health in daily contact with water.
Serge Gander, CEO of bNovate Technologies, said the agreement is “a major step” in widening the reach of BactoSense® technology across the US market.
The agreement follows other recent bNovate partnerships in Asia-Pacific and the Middle East, as the company continues to expand international availability of its water monitoring solutions.
Why faster microbiological monitoring matters for water quality
Microbiological water testing has traditionally relied on laboratory methods that can delay results and limit operators’ ability to respond quickly to changes in water quality.
Real-time water monitoring can help operators identify microbial changes earlier, improve operational decision-making and support more proactive water safety management.
This is particularly important in sectors such as municipal water, food and beverage production, industrial water systems and high-purity applications, where contamination risks can affect compliance, safety and operational continuity.
As utilities and industrial operators invest in smarter water quality systems, online monitoring technologies are becoming increasingly important for continuous oversight and faster response.
The partnership also reflects wider demand for digital and automated tools across water treatment and water technology applications.
