Applications
Rapid bioburden
Rapid in-process control
Rapid in-process control microbiological testing is vital in modern manufacturing, ensuring swift detection and response to microbial threats.
In contrast to traditional methods, rapid testing delivers results within hours, facilitating seamless integration with continuous manufacturing processes.
Food safety
Rapid microbiological testing enhances overall efficiency in food production and distribution. By quickly identifying microbial threats, manufacturers can implement corrective measures promptly, reducing the likelihood of extensive product recalls and financial losses.
This not only protects public health but also upholds the reputation and trustworthiness of food brands

Imaging Technology
oCelloScope
Patented high resolution 3D optical system
The oCelloScope is designed to optimize image quality, data acquisition speed and robustness. The oCelloScope enables detection of microbial life in the micro-scale, even down to single cells, while having a large are scan area.
The system is designed to operate with standard titer plates. The oCelloScope has a small footprint of 450 x 260 x 250 mm (with open lid: H = 550 mm) making it an extremely flexible system and easily fits on benchtops.
The technology of the oCelloScope is what enables us to detect and quantify microorganisms in hours rather than days.
IntuGrow
Same Results, Only Faster
Our Rapid Microbial Method (RMM) called IntuGrow provides the results as CFUs with analytical times reduced from days to hours by allowing detection of colonies down to 8 µm in diameter.
The system is based on a scaled-down traditional cultivation with the same incubation temperatures, sample volumes and cultivation media. With IntuGrow up to 12 samples can be analyzed simultaneously.
IntuGrow
Filtration Solution
Employ the proven method of filtration
In the realm of microbiological sample testing, the proven method of filtration stands as a cornerstone in ensuring accurate, reliable, and actionable results. The IntuGrow filtration solution allows you to analyze sample volumes from 1-200 ml ensuring adhesion to existing standards. The IntuGrow Filtration solution has a proven track record from the pharmaceutical industry with successful third-party testing following PDA TR33 and USP 1223.
The method is widely used for rapid bioburden and IPC where time-to-result matters allowing for early reactions to out-of-trend and out-of-spec microbiological results. IntuGrow filtration solution is ideal as a replacement or a supplement to the classical procedures of membrane filtration following guidelines such as USP 61.
IntuGrow
Nonfilterable Solution
Analyze even the most complex samples
Every industry has its own problems with microbiological contamination and many sample types are high complex matrices, such as wall paint or bacterial fermentation products. With IntuGrow even the most complex samples can be analyzed with great reduction in time-to-result. The solution for nonfilterable samples based on spread plating on the proprietary. Our innovative optical approach allows us to recognize the formation of even the smallest colonies in complex samples matrices.
IntuGrow
Software
Designed for ease-of-use
The IntuGrow software is designed to be as easy to use as possible with predefined templates automatically defining all settings. This ensures consistency in the analyses performed.
Easily Interpreted Data
Results are reported on-screen after every measurement enabling early warnings when colonies are detected. All results are accessible during and after the measurement for documentation and review.
Everything in one Image
All data of every sample is compiled in one master image that tells the entire story of that sample. This gives great transparency of the automatic quantification and can reveal a word of microbial dynamics.
