It is essential that drinking water undergo purification steps to arrive clean and without bacterial contamination. Now these water treatment steps can be supervised intently with the BactoSense CORE from bNovate Technologies.
The new flow cytometer is specifically adapted for rapid and automated microbiological analysis in utilities and industrial environments. It is easy to use and provides results within 20 minutes. Its cartridge system, according to Dr. Luigino Grasso, bNovate chief technology officer, is designed for safety, convenience and sustainability, offering unmatched real-time data for precise water quality control, enabling superior decision-making and operational efficiency. With BactoSense CORE, operators can detect abnormal changes promptly and keep water safe.
“At bNovate, our ambition is to become a global leader in rapid bacteria detection,” says Grasso. “Expanding into the U.S. marks an exciting milestone as we build on our success across Europe. We’re committed to simplifying microbiological monitoring and contributing to a more sustainable world.”
The BactoSense CORE flow cytometer is designed as a solution for water hazard prevention, providing nearly real-time, precise bacteria quantification that enables immediate response to potential contamination, ensuring water safety. Its early warning system supports data-driven decision-making and enables proactive intervention for utilities and drinking water treatment facilities. It is designed to detect abnormalities and monitor raw water, ensuring water safety and optimizing treatment processes.
A cartridge system designed for safety, convenience and sustainability is at the core of every BactoSense monitor. As part of its latest offerings, bNovate introduced the Active Cells - UV Cartridge, which allows users to measure bacteria with metabolic activity. In an era where bacteria growth increasingly requires advanced treatment, the cartridge can help optimize UV disinfection.
According to Dr. Grasso, the compact, user-friendly design of the cytometer seamlessly integrates into existing systems, allowing facilities to proactively maintain compliance and safety standards with minimal manual intervention. The Active Cells - UV Cartridge and the existing Total Cells and Intact Cells Cartridges all contain reagents and liquids necessary to count bacteria in water without manipulation or contact with chemicals, thus eliminating user bias and exposure to risks. They last up to 1,000 measurements, ensuring uninterrupted monitoring for weeks to months. Cartridges are also sustainable and reusable as operators simply need to return cartridge to the company for timely maintenance and refilling.
