The BioDtex lamp uses a specific UVA wavelength to reveal residues and biofilms by producing fluorescence visible to the naked eye. For optimal use, refer to the user manual.
No, the lamp directly detects biofilms without requiring a developer product.
Biofilms appear by fluorescence, usually green. Other colours may indicate different residues or contaminants. Further analysis may be necessary. To understand and interpret the different colours, consult the interpretation guide provided with the lamp.
BioDtex uses a specific, highly powerful UVA spectrum to effectively detect biofilms, offering improved sensitivity on various surfaces.
For the initial setup and a complete list of features, refer to the user manual. It provides detailed instructions for optimal use of the BioDtex lamp, including capturing and collecting images.
Yes, it works on most surfaces including stainless steel, plastic, glass, and more. However, effectiveness may vary depending on surface properties. To see how the BioDtex lamp performs on different materials, please refer to the scoring chart included in the user manual.
Traces of biofilms, organic or chemical residues that may indicate areas needing cleaning. To understand and interpret the results, consult the guide.
We recommend annual calibration with BioDtex or your local distributor to ensure optimal performance, but it is not required.
It detects biofilms as soon as they are initially formed, before they become visible to the naked eye.
For any certainty regarding the nature of the residues, an ATP swab is required. The BioDtex lamp does not determine the composition of the contaminant; it is a detection tool to reveal residues invisible to the naked eye. To precisely identify the type of contamination, a swab sample and laboratory analysis is still necessary.
The BioDtex lamp is used in the food, pharmaceutical, public health, chemical, environmental, and cleaning services industries to detect invisible residues and ensure the cleanliness and safety of equipment and environments.
BioDtex does not replace ATP testing or laboratory analysis. It will never provide a precise identification of the nature of a pathogen, but it will reveal its presence, by highlighting residues invisible to the naked eye.
