Routine surveillance of water still relies on old plating methods (HPC) that require many days to give a result and detect only 1% of bacteria. On the contrary, modern technologies like BactoSense are fast and accurate. 99,9% of all bacteria are counted in just 20 minutes.
Don’t bring your sample to the lab, bring your lab to the sample!
With our fully automated Flow Cytometer, assuring the required level of water quality has never been so easy. Online monitoring not only gives a result 70 times faster than HPC it also significantly decreases the costs per analysis.
No need to travel to check your samples, with BactoSense you have a surveillance around the clock. You can verify 24/7 the microbial evolution and ensure your water has the right quality at all time. A warning will immediately inform you in case of a microbial contamination and you can take action instantly.
The maintenance-free cartridge contains all reagents and liquids necessary to count bacteria in water. It is safe to handle and environmentally friendly. Depending on your application, you may want to count all the cells present in the water or only the living cells. Stay flexible with the BactoSense smart-cartridge system – you can change your mind anytime.

Watch the videoBactosense is a lab in itself and doesn’t need specialised users. It can be intuitively operated by anyone. It is your best choice for on-site water analysis: a fully automated water quality monitoring system.
BactoSense Online is a flow-cytometer designed for industrial applications.
With an IP65 protection it can be mounted directly on the wall or placed on a table anywhere in a water supply or laboratory. Due to its portability it can easily be transported and used in the field.
Several adapters are available for process connections. On-site measurements are both manual as on-line for continuously measurement possible.
Online sampling at any chosen point: at the inlet, before and after rapid and slow sand filtration, before and after disinfection, at the reservoirs. 24/7 monitoring can raise an alarm when necessary but also helps to optimize the processes.
Manual or online sampling anywhere on the distribution networks: pipes maintenance, sources, roadworks. Portability, robustness, and low voltage power supply makes the device fully field compatible.
Bactosense Multi can be loaded with up to 30 sample points of your process and measures them fully automatically without any human intervention.
We are happy to answer your questions about measuring techniques or specific applications, but also to make an appointment for maintenance of your equipment or for training your employees.

BactoSense is an easy and rapid way to measure the total content of bacteria in your water. This opens up the opportunity to follow all the bacteria in our drinking water system, that we have never been able to do before.
Sandy Chan, Process Engineer, Sydvatten AB (Sweden)
We have been using several BactoSense for the last 5 years in our groundwater wells at IWB. In addition to having our water monitored continuously and reliably, we like the instruments as they are easy to use and need very little maintenance. We plan to equip further extraction points with a BactoSense.
Pascal Brand, Head inspection and online analytics, IWB (Basel, CH)
BactoSense is a good measuring instrument that we have been using for two years. BactoSense enabled us to learn a lot about our groundwater aquifers and it has allowed us to move the new well / pump sites to an even better location (hydro-geologically better). The groundwater quality is safely and reliably monitored.
