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.

Learn practical methods for detecting biofilms in food processing environments and why early detection is critical for hygiene control. Introduction If biofilms are hidden, resistant, and persistent — detection becomes essential. But detecting biofilms is not the same as detecting bacteria. It requires a different approach. What Should You Be Detecting? Instead of only looking […]
Biofilm control starts with detection. Learn why identifying biofilms is the first and most critical step in managing contamination in food processing. Introduction By now, we understand that biofilms: This leads to a critical conclusion: 👉 You cannot control what you cannot see The Shift in Approach Most hygiene systems are built around: But when […]
Standard microbiological testing may not detect biofilms. Learn why CFU testing can miss hidden contamination in food processing environments. Introduction Microbiological testing is a cornerstone of food safety. Swabs are taken.Samples are analysed.Results are reviewed. And when results come back within acceptable limits, it’s easy to assume everything is under control. But when it comes […]
