SBT Develops and Applies Novel Technology for Bacteria Measurements

SBT has developed and applied a new technology for bacteria measurements

Our approach to develop game-changing microbiology measurement solutions at SBT is built upon close collaboration between several different technical fields. This enables us to challenge the status quo and improve the state-of-the-art.

In 2013, the founders of SBT eyed an opportunity to solve the pains that several industries had with the 100-year-old plate count method. This resulted in BactoBox®, a product for enumeration of bacteria that uses electrical impedance as the detection principle. Our technology solves the pains of plate counts and other technologies because it is fast, accurate, and easy-to-use.

Our Product

Standardize Your Bacteria Measurements with Ease

We design user-friendly bacteria counters

BactoBox® is a small benchtop device that counts bacteria within the entire bioprocessing production pipeline from the initial fermentation to the final quality control investigations.

Grab sample, dilute, homogenize, insert it in BactoBox®, press Measure, and BactoBox® provides a total bacteria concentration in 2 minutes. BactoBox® is easy-to-use and standardize as a method.

It typically takes just 15 minutes to train new BactoBox® operators.
