An easy-to-use, innovative tool that detects invisible biofilms on open surfaces in under a minute.
The presence of biofilms on work surfaces in the food processing industry is a major risk factor when it comes to food safety.
Biofilms are groups of microorganisms which adhere to surfaces and produce extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) that cover them, protecting them from adverse environmental conditions.
The EPS confers resistance to microorganisms and forms a barrier against conventional cleaning and disinfecting procedures, which makes it difficult to remove the biofilm.
Biofilms can easily and quickly form wherever there is a hydrated environment and nutrients.
Rapid detection of microbial “hot-spots” is critical to sanitation verification and quality assurance. Today’s food processing and food service facilities must take extra precautions to protect against unseen microbial threats. Biofinder is a fast and accurate way to make the Invisible…Visible.
Biofinder provides a cost-effective, visual indication of the presence of biofilms on a surface which may contain harmful microorganisms such as Listeria, Escherichia coli (E. coli) or Salmonella. When the product comes into contact with biofilms, Biofinder rapidly produces white micro-bubbles/foam within 1 minute, providing a visual indicator of potential harbourage niches.
Available in a single pack or triple pack

Biofilms form the largest activity center on the planet. Contamination, fouling and energy loss from biofilms is costing the food industry billions in world GDP, while claiming the lives of millions worldwide. Recently we had the pleasure of attending the Barcelona Biofilm Summit 2020 held online. It was extremely interesting and informative, and for those […]
Anyone working in the food processing industry will know how a biofilm left undetected and untreated can cause havoc. Outbreaks of large scale contamination start with biofilm-forming bacteria. Listeria are amongst the most enthusiastic of these biofilm formers. Listeria monocytogenes, is a foodborne pathogen responsible for the Listeriosis illness. It is able to rapidly adhere […]
Did you know that most bacteria in pipes and tanks live in biofilms and not free in the water? And, while free floating bacteria is easy to remove, biofilms are not. Unfortunately pipes and tanks make an ideal environment for pathogenic and spoilage bacteria to thrive in biofilm. This is where you may find some […]
