The Idea
What it's about
FluIDect was founded in 2021 to meet the need for in-process quality monitoring in food production. FluIDect's SpheroScan® is the first Industry 4.0-compatible sensor for microbial analysis directly in the production environment.
The sensor data is available online and in real time so that production can be monitored and controlled while the process is running (Advanced Process Control).
The SpheroScan biosensor is based on a novel, label-free method for detecting target organisms and molecules, the fluorescence resonator signature (FRS). The method uses functionalized microparticles (μBeads) to identify specific targets in liquid media such as water, milk or fermentation broth. This has great advantages for customers: a short time to result, high sensitivity and quantitative results. This leads to considerable savings in raw materials, time and energy. In addition, SpheroScan works fully automatically without a laboratory or trained personnel.
With the SpheroScan®, FluIDect offers a solution that harmonizes quality and efficiency in food production.
