CellCount · CellCount, a revolutionary technology platform to solve current problems with microbiological contamination in water and food industries.

Food- and water-borne illnesses are common and preventable public health issues. Hundreds of millions of samples aretested each year to detect harmful bacteria in drinking and environmental water, food and beverages. Pathogens such asLegionella, Pseudomonas, Giardia/Cryptosporidium, Salmonella, Campylobacter and E. coli (O157:H7), cause disease andlead to enormous economic damage.Events such as, the 2013 Legionella outbreak in Warstein, Germany, with over 185 cases of disease, or the Danish Listeriaoutbreak of summer 2014, with 12 reported deaths and the shutting down of the meat producing company, painfullydemonstrated the limitations of current testing methodologies. Long testing time, and insufficient analytical quality in resultslead to unsuccessful countermeasures, spread of the disease, and waste of energy and biocides.CellCount is a novel testing technology that delivers fully quantitative test results at an unmatched speed. CellCountrevolutionizes the pathogen detection market by combining various new technologies, already well-established in theacademic environment, and applying them to industrial applications. Due to its novel sample preparation and pathogendetection technology, CellCount provides a quantitative pathogen detection result within one hour, compared to days toweeks for other methods.
