Research

The technology platform that Bactest has developed operates as a sensitive, precision respirometer.

Detection of metabolic activity is determined by sensitive pressure measurements relating to gaseous exchanges as a result of microbial respiration.

Within the research field there a countless opportunities where application may be found for such a broadly versatile technology.

Instruments house two disposable culture vessels therefore creating the opportunity to run both Aerobic and Anaerobic cultures simultaneously, or in the case of comparative studies, Test vs Control.

The technology can monitor both positive and negative pressures therefore detecting a broad range of metabolic activity.


Potential applications include:

  • Bacterial and fungal respirometry
  • Microbial contamination testing
  • Toxicity testing - comparison of test vs control culture
  • Cell culture monitoring
  • Growth of starter cultures

    • Gemini



    Bactest has developed an instrument which is:

    • small & portable and can be used in any laboratory or in any location
    • modular and versatile
    • safe
    • requires no or very low maintenance
    • provides continuous and automated monitoring of cultures
