Microbial analysis
Microbial analysis is a cornerstone of scientific research and industrial application, pivotal in enhancing our understanding and management of microorganisms. Through precise and innovative equipment like the oCelloScope, we provide researchers and professionals with the tools they need to conduct detailed microbial studies, driving forward developments in drug discovery, food safety, and beyond.
Techniques and technologies in microbial analysis
At BioSense Solutions, we integrate traditional and advanced methodologies in microbial analysis to enhance research and industrial applications. Our technologies, including the oCelloScope and µCount 3D, are designed to complement a variety of techniques such as microscopy, culture-based methods, and molecular approaches like PCR and sequencing. These instruments provide unparalleled precision and ease, enabling detailed microbial investigations and real-time data acquisition, crucial for sectors requiring rigorous microbial monitoring and control.
Applications of microbial analysis
Microbial analysis plays a critical role across diverse sectors, and tools like the oCelloScope and µCount 3D help automating processes within these applications. For example in healthcare, the technology speeds up bacterial growth detection and antibiotic susceptibility testing, aiding in rapid response to infections. Or in the food industry, it enhances safety protocols by identifying pathogens efficiently. Each case, from pharmaceuticals to environmental monitoring, benefits from our accurate, real-time microbial analysis, ensuring safer products and environments.
Advantages of automated microbial analysis systems
The oCelloScope enhances microbial analysis, offering remarkable benefits such as increased accuracy and the capability for faster results. These systems allow for real-time monitoring of microbial growth, facilitating immediate adjustments in experimental conditions and quicker decision-making in clinical and research settings. This integration of automation and precision dramatically improves efficiency and reliability in microbial studies across various industries.
Integration with other laboratory techniques
These technologies seamlessly integrate with existing laboratory procedures and data systems, enhancing overall workflow efficiency and data accuracy. The devices oCelloScope and µCount 3D are designed to work in tandem with other lab equipment, enabling smooth data transfer and analysis. This integration supports labs in achieving more streamlined operations and higher precision in microbial analysis outcomes.
“A deep understanding of mechanisms of action of small molecules is critical for drug discovery. The research team at Venatorx Pharmaceuticals has incorporated oCelloScope, the state-of-the-art automated microscope developed by BioSense Solutions, to obtain valuable information on antibiotic effects on bacterial growth and morphology for the development of new antibiotics against clinically-important pathogens.”
Tsuyoshi Uehara
Principal Scientist of Biology, Venatorx Pharmaceuticals
“My laboratory has been using an oCelloScope™ to rapidly assess the effectiveness of various formulations for use in cleaning and sanitizing processing surfaces in the food industry. The lower detection limit and the ability to monitor cellular morphology make this instrument superior to using a microtiter plate reader to monitor media turbidity. The software is straight forward and easy to use. It has been a great laboratory tool.”

“Plate and biochemical assays can show strain and hit performances, but seeing is believing. The High Throughput Assay Development Team at Ginkgo Bioworks has incorporated the oCelloscope as an essential tool for validating and troubleshooting many of our assays. The oCelloscope reliably produces high-quality microscopy data from plate screens, building the scale of Ginkgo’s platform to engineer living cells to generate better products. Customer and inter-team understanding of strain growth, treatments, and communication of assay conditions and performances is made easy with the oCelloscope.”

Senior Test Engineer, Ginkgo Bioworks
“By using the oCelloScope we were able to follow germination of thousands of individual fungal conidiospores within a population or community. We could track development of these individuals by tracing size and shape and determine the influence of different conditions on their outgrowth. That was never done before”
Dr. Wieke R. Teertstra
Researcher, Microbiology, Kruyt building, Utrecht University
“The phage therapy group at University of Helsinki and Helsinki University Central Hospital has a long experience in conducting phagoram screenings in liquid culture using traditional adsorbance-based plate readers. The use of oCelloScope greatly increases the sensitivity of the measurement and makes it possible to conduct the whole phagoram assay within one working day.“
