Food processors have a common problem in detecting bacteria and bio films that could contaminate the end product. Currently, processors use ATP tests for measuring actively growing microorganisms through detection of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP. Although this process is good, it is not fool proof due to the minute size of physical swab point compared to overall volume of surface, and the physical swab procedure is cumbersome. Other technologies include florescent markers and gels; however, these are not environmentally friendly and, again, due to minute size of physical test area a true result is impossible to gauge.

With Bactiscans’ unique wave alternating UV system, Bactiscan enables food processors to immediately isolate Biofilms, mould and bacteria such as salmonella and E.coli and many other contaminants are easily located and identified with Bactiscan which makes the remediation job much faster and therefore more cost effective.

These contaminants are often undetectable using other methods such as white light and UV lamps. With Bactiscan you can light up the entire surface and get an immediate result, so within seconds you can pick things up that would take hours with any other method.
