Market Sectors

Human Clinical

Bactest is using the Medica Show to unveil the first of a line of product offerings based on its rapid microbiology platform.

The product range, launched under the "GEMINI" name represents a totally unique and innovative approach to the issues facing microbiologists, clinicians and Hospital Managers alike.


Food / Industrial
The food industry has significant issues with microbial contamination and spoilage but has limited tools available to monitor this in “real time”.
Considerable opportunities exist for rapid, simple, localised testing in the food and industrial microbiology sectors including raw materials and final product testing as well as process and hygiene monitoring.


Veterinary
Besides being a low cost instrument for veterinary surgeries seeking the ability to undertake animal blood tests, there is the possibility of developing specific tests such as those for Johne’s disease in cattle


Environmental
Bactest technology has multiple applications in the rapidly expanding environmental sector including toxicity testing of activated sludges in water treatment plants


Research

The technology platform that Bactest has developed operates as a sensitive, precision respirometer. Detection of metabolic activity is determined by sensitive pressure measurements relating to gaseous exchanges as a result of microbial respiration.

Within the research field there a countless opportunities where application may be found for such a broadly versatile technology.
