Biotest Microbiology and BIOTECON Diagnostics GmbH start worldwide sales cooperation
In order to enhance the worldwide launch of its Hygiene Screening System, Biotest Microbiology, a global business unit of BIOTEST AG Dreieich, Germany has started a global sales cooperation with BIOTECON Diagnostics GmbH Potsdam, Germany.
In October 2009 Biotest Microbiology will start to sell the system for rapid identification of microorganisms from hygiene monitoring samples. Corynebacterium, Staphylococcus, Micrococcus, Kocuria, and Kytococcus can be detected in a simple procedure starting from a single bacterial colony.
BIOTECON Diagnostics developed the Hygiene Screening System to meet the need for a fast and specific method for environmental monitoring in the pharmaceutical industry. A monitoring study with several pharmaceutical companies revealed that up to 80% of the microorganisms isolated from samples derived from the pharmaceutical environment (personnel, air and surface) belong to the genera Staphylococcus, Micrococcus and Corynebacterium. The method is based on a fast real-time PCR (polymerase chain reaction) technology.
