Passionately different
Microbiology is a conservative business. Based on the guidelines of Robert Koch, bacteria have been cultivated on artificial culture media for more than 100 years in order to detect them. And this despite the fact that up to 99 % of all bacteria cannot be cultivated! As long as 20 years ago, we realized that this could not be the right approach. We wanted to take a different path, a path that aimed to solve the customer's problem, regardless of which paths had been taken in microbiology to date.
The vermicon principle comprises the four essential pillars that have made it possible for us not only to take this risk of being different, but also to develop it into a success.
Direct microbiology
As up to 99% of all bacteria cannot be detected using conventional methods, a new way of identifying the microorganisms had to be found.
Thinking out of the microbial box
Thinking differently and developing unconventional ideas is the best way to find new and successful solutions in microbiology.
Solution-oriented approach
Our primary goal is to offer our customers a solution that effectively overcomes their challenges. We are not bound by the rigid conventions of microbiology. Rather, our focus is on achieving an optimal result that supports our customers in the long term.
People with people
In microbiology, too, people talk to people. We are committed to friendly, open and trusting cooperation with our partners.
Direct microbiology
The best and fastest way is to detect the bacteria directly in the sample without any detours. VIT® gene probe technology is the ideal tool for direct microbiology. It can be used to detect microorganisms directly at the site of their action. Of course, there are also scenarios in which this is not immediately possible due to the unfavorable sample volume/bacteria count ratio. There are alternatives for this, such as the Scan VIT® system.
Thinking out of the microbial box
Established microbiological procedures are convenient and quick to implement. However, they rarely lead to a quick and satisfactory result for the customer. That's why a different kind of microbiological thinking is a must for us! Leaving the conventional path is unfamiliar and sometimes uncomfortable, but it always leads to a sustainable and excellent solution for our customers. And that's what counts!
Solution-oriented
The solution, not the path, is the goal. For our customers, it doesn't matter which technology is used to solve their problem. The main thing is that it is solved! That is why we use the entire spectrum of microbiological methods. By participating in various international and high-caliber research projects, we are not only at the cutting edge of technology, but often ahead of it. This enables us to use technologies for our customers today that will only be talked about tomorrow.
Human
Even in times of the internet and online boom, people meet people. Seek success together. Finding a solution together. At vermicon, we want to work successfully with our partners. This is only possible if there is open, trusting and friendly communication. With us, you always have a direct and friendly contact person who will take care of your matter. That's a promise!
