BactoSense^TM Multi
Automated flow cytometer for multi-point monitoring of bacteria in water

Always a step ahead – capture a precise picture of your complete process In a world where sustainability meets efficiency, don't waste precious time transporting your many samples to a lab – instead, bring the lab to the samples. BactoSense Multi is a step forward in the evolution of microbiological monitoring. With it, you experience a complete mapping of your production environment: it samples different points of your process and analyses them fully automatically. Never be caught off guard on your production line and enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing the quality of your water.

• Sampling: Processes up to 30 samples, coming from anywhere on your production line.
• Water analysis: Measures fully automatically without human interaction – also overnight.
• Complete overview: Provides your results at a glance and helps decision making.

BactoSense Multi – Always a step ahead

Innovation for your processes

Your Challenges

• Do you need to monitor the water quality at several points of your production or process line?
• Would you prefer to have a global view on your overall process as well as detect and understand any variations on your network?
• Are you missing the in-house knowledge or resources to perform water testing?
• Do you want to take decisions based on rapid microbiological analysis having to wait for external lab results?

Our Solution

Ease of use
BactoSense Multi is a compact automated flow cytometer for the microbial analysis of water. Thanks to its user-friendly interface, it can be operated by anyone. Up to 30 samples can be loaded and measured without any human intervention.

Accurate
It is proven that plating methods (HPC) only detect 1% of bacteria without present in a water sample. The BactoSense technology makes it possible to count 99.9% of them with a high repeatability. Bringing this fast analysis method to the heart of your production accelerates your decision process.

Where to Measure Your Water Quality

• Water treatment / Process monitoring
• Raw water monitoring
• Monitor coarse filtration and evaluate its efficiency.
• Ensure the elimination of potential microbiological contaminants by checking the effectiveness of the filtration before entering the storage tank.
• Guarantee water stability when entering and leaving the storage tank.
• Water may undergo disinfection steps or mineralization. Keeping track of these steps ensures a microbial safe production.
• Supervise highly hygienic bottling, conducted in a microbiologically controlled environment.
• Verify the microbiological safety of the product and compliance with standards and specifications.

Your Workplaces

On the production line
Sampling multiple points gives a complete picture of your line. BactoSense Multi and Online complement each other to reveal the microbial landscape in any situation.

Process engineering
Combining precise mapping and fast time to results enables process optimization, lower costs, reduced waste, and the avoidance of production downtime.

BactoSense Multi – Peace of mind

How Does It Work?

The process starts with labeling, scanning and loading the samples into the cooled tray. Then begins their labeling, mixing, incubating (1 & 2) and measuring (3 & 4). The results are ready for exploitation after only 25 minutes (5). The sample finishes its course into the integrated waste container (6). The measuring cycle ends with a full cleaning of the instrument (7).

Measurement type tailored by the cartridge
All the results can be retrieved from the database at any time to be evaluated. Depending on the cartridge used, TCC (Total Cell Count) or ICC (Intact Cell Count), specific sample parameters are displayed on the dotplots.

Safe and environmentally friendly handling
The cartridge system of BactoSense minimizes any contact with chemicals including their waste. The cartridge is hermetically sealed, quickly replaceable, and reusable. It contains all you need for up to 500 measurements, giving your instrument full autonomy for up to 9 months – depending on the frequency of your analyses.

Application example

A water production line can have many treatment steps. Sampling and measuring at different points provide valuable details. For example, before and after a filtration step: not only does it provide a direct assessment of the filtration efficiency, but it also enables a rapid evaluation of the filter integrity to anticipate its cleaning or replacement.

All this information allows achieving an optimized process control, with reduced reaction times and increased safety to finally produce a better water quality.
