BioDtex Lamp

A handheld UV-A lamp that instantly reveals hidden contamination, helping food plants detect risks faster and make smarter hygiene decisions.

Why traditional sampling isn’t enough

  • Less than 0.01% of plant surfaces are sampled.
  • Pathogens like Listeria, Salmonella, E. coli often remain undetected.
  • Visual checks and ATP swabs fail to consistently detect biofilms.
