Rapid bacterial identification

Microbiological contamination of products, processes and cooling systems costs corporations millions of dollars each year.  hydrosense provides the technology solution to enable organisations to identify and monitor microbial contamination, without the need for laboratory based tests.

Our award winning, field-based platform for bacterial identification enables test results, that would normally take days to perform in the laboratory, to be obtained at the sample point in minutes.

Originally conceived to address specific issues in the water industry hydrosense technology is applicable across a wide range of markets and against numerous target pathogens.  If microbial contamination costs your organisation time, money or quality then talk to hydrosense about a solution tailored to your needs.

Revolutionizing Biotechnology.


What do we do?

The company combines electro-optics and biotechnology in an innovative field portable package for detecting bacteria in water. This technology will provide the world's first quantative, real time identification system for bacteria in water. The company's products will have a significant benefit to the water and beverage industry increasing public safety and consumer confidence, reducing system down time and enabling companies to protect their brand image from the negative publicity associated with disease outbreaks.

Products

The hydrosense technology can be adapted to a variety of industries, in the first instance the product will be a field portable instrument - iST1280. The first test cartridge will be developed to test for Legionella - other pathogens are planned for the future inc:

  • Pseudomonads.
  • Coliforms.

The second generation product will be an in-process system capable of real time detection of pathogens in the production process.
