Automated Bacteria Counts – Unique imaging solution BioSense Solutions presents a new one-of-a-kind imaging solution to automate and count total bacteria in a pure liquid sample. To the right is  image of an E. coli sample run in the µCount3D instrument. Cells are found in suspension and counted in 23 z-stacks. Bacteria found are presented […]

Shaping the future with Fungi Fungi are almost everywhere and have enormous potential as both sustainable final products and components in building materials. Liquid fermentation can provide fast and scalable production of paper-like materials and mono filaments for use in the textile industry. Solid-state fermentation uses the non-fruiting part of the fungus to produce leather

You can use your micro titer plate of choice as long as it comes with a flat bottom. For agar work we recommend using our BioSense

Sustainable agriculture and pest control Insects are a pest in agriculture and cause significant losses in crop yields and storage. A global need for new and efficient alternatives to chemical pesticides is driving the discovery of new bio pesticides. The oCelloScope is used by many agriculture companies in different BioAg applications. SporeCount SporeCount Bio control

oCelloScope in dairy mold research Yoghurt is a difficult matrix to analyze. Casein in yoghurt reflects all light and makes it an impossible assay in microscopy. Today, most food companies study the growth and inhibition of molds using classical agar plates and rely on visual inspection. Analysis time ranges from 3 to 21 days depending

Join the battle against Antimicrobial resistance with oCelloScope New resistance mechanisms are emerging and spreading globally, threatening our ability to treat common infectious diseases, resulting in prolonged illness, disability, and death. Scientists are demanding fast and sensitive methods to discover new antibiotics against pathogenic bacteria and fungi and push forward our understanding of these resistance
