DESCRIPCIÓ
BLUEPHAGE SL is a biotechnology company that provides easy solutions intended to monitor bacteriophages which can act as viral indicators. BLUEPHAGE’s products are guaranteed to be safe and to lead to improvements in the microbiological quality of water, food and biosolids.
BLUEPHAGE is a spin-off of MARS (Microbiologia de l’Aigua Relacionada amb la Salut: Water Microbiology Related to Health), a consolidate research group at the University of Barcelona.
Bacteriophages used as viral indicators are providing complementary and additional information to that from bacterial indicators, because they are more abundant than bacteria in the environment and usually persist longer. In addition to these advantages, bacteriophages provide information on viral pathogens that are not properly represented in studies of bacterial indicators.
Kits and products are related to bacteriophages and focus on monitoring water, food and biosolids. The main characteristics of BLUEPHAGE’s kits are that they: are easy to use, offer high sensitivity, provide quick results (< 5 hours) and are reliable.
