The problem
Microorganisms find protection from inhibitors and toxins in the biofilm matrix. At the same time, they are continuously supplied with nutrients. In this way, the biofilm offers the microorganisms ideal conditions for survival. This is the reason why biofilms are so difficult to combat. Moreover, most of these bacteria cannot be cultivated and therefore cannot be detected using conventional methods.
Analyze biofilms with VIT
With the help of VIT® gene probe technology, biofilms can be analyzed and the bacteria that repeatedly detach themselves can be detected. If the existence of a biofilm is not yet known, continuous concentration measurements can be used to localize the biofilm in the first place.
The precise analysis of the biofilm helps to find the cause of the problem, to destroy the biofilm in a targeted manner and to prevent it from forming again.
