bNovate Technologies SA

bNovate Technologies SA, headquartered in Ecublens, Switzerland, is an ISO 9001:2015 certified company that has pioneered automated online flow cytometry for real-time microbiological water monitoring, replacing traditional 24-72 hour culture-based testing with continuous microbial measurements delivering results in approximately 20 minutes. The BactoSense product family forms the company's core offering. BactoSense CORE provides continuous online monitoring for drinking water utilities with built-in touchscreen interface, fully automated sampling, and SCADA integration. BactoSense SMART adds AI-powered data exploration with pattern recognition and predictive analytics. BactoSense PURE targets pharmaceutical and ultra-pure water applications, providing Online Water Bioburden Analysis (OWBA) for Water for Injection (PW/WFI) compliance. BactoSense Multi extends monitoring to up to 30 sampling points with an integrated self-contained laboratory. The proprietary cartridge system offers three measurement modes: TCC (Total Cell Count) using DNA staining for up to 1,000 measurements, ICC (Intact Cell Count) using membrane integrity dyes, and ACC (Active Cell Count) using metabolic activity indicators for up to 700 measurements. Cartridges are hermetically sealed, require no maintenance or calibration, and are returned for sustainable refill. Supporting products include BactoCloud for cloud-based remote monitoring and analytics, BactoSwitch for automated multi-point sampling control, and BactoCare for instrument maintenance programs. bNovate serves drinking water utilities, bottled water producers, pharmaceutical and cosmetics manufacturers, and research institutions, with notable deployments at Severn Trent Water (UK) and Veitur Utilities (Iceland).
