Technology
With Bactiscan's™ 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. Designed for speed, accuracy, and ease of use, these handheld devices help you locate contamination in seconds, reduce downtime, and improve the efficiency of your testing and cleaning protocols.
BactiscanPLUS™
The BactiscanPLUS™ is the latest innovation in handheld bacteria and biofilm detection, utilising EIT International’s proprietary wave-alternating UV light technology. Designed for ease of use, this lightweight device allows a single operator to efficiently inspect large areas with minimal training. Its dual rechargeable batteries ensure extended operational time, making it ideal for continuous use in demanding environments.
Benefits offered by the BactiscanPLUS™
- Swivelling Head: The unique swivelling head facilitates inspection of hard-to-reach areas, enhancing versatility in various settings.
- Dual Rechargeable Batteries: Equipped with two high-quality DEWALT® branded batteries and a separate charger, the BactiscanPLUS™ offers uninterrupted usage. Each battery charges in approximately 1.5 hours and provides over 2 hours of operational time.
- Durability: IP54 rating for dust and splash protection.
- Environmentally Friendly: The BactiscanPLUS™ operates without the need for chemicals or dyes, making it safe for both users and products.
- Enhanced Efficiency: By quickly identifying contamination areas, it allows for more targeted and efficient ATP swab testing, potentially reducing overall testing costs.
Bactiscan™ and BactiscanPRO™
User-friendly handheld bacteria and biofilm detection systems that use proprietary wave-alternating UV light technology to locate surface contamination, especially as a prelude to ATP swab testing in production facilities.
Being lightweight, and easy-to-use, one operator can examine large areas quickly, with minimal training required. The Bactiscan™ & BactiscanPRO™ are environmentally friendly and safe for people and products, as it requires no chemicals to generate results.
Benefits offered by the Bactiscan™ and BactiscanPRO™
- Immediately isolate areas of bacteria, biofilms, mould, product residue and many other contaminants.
- Inspect large surface areas quickly and easily!
- Environmentally friendly, non-invasive, and safe to handle / use.
- For most areas, downtime is not required.
- BactiscanPRO™ uses still photography and video capture capability for maintenance and remedial works.
- Can help save money by making other testing, such as ATP swab tests, more targeted and efficient.
Bactiscope™
A surface bacteria and biofilm detection system using EIT Internationals wave-alternating UV light technology, designed to inspect awkward to access areas and inside pipework. Images or video captured can be uploaded to an internal quality system for audit purposes or documented corrective action. Extremely environmentally friendly as it requires no chemicals or dyes.
Benefits offered by the Bactiscope™
- Camera can inspect up to 5 metres, into awkward and hard-to-reach areas such as pipework or behind equipment.
- Immediate results on screen and able to record findings.
- Minimal downtime and easy to use.
- Environmentally friendly and safe to handle/use.
- Ideal addition to in-house maintenance and cleaning protocols for regulatory compliance.
