Photeris develops rapid bacterial detection technology through its BacDTex product line, designed to identify bacterial contamination in hours rather than days. The platform uses light-based optical detection and high-resolution technology, without requiring labels or DNA detection. By monitoring small changes in bacterial counts under consistent illumination, BacDTex supports sensitive, high-throughput screening and faster decision-making in settings where timely results matter.

Compared with traditional culture methods, which may take eight hours to several days for confirmation, the system can identify bacterial growth in as little as three hours while offering research-grade accuracy. Its workflows are designed for samples in both solution and agar, supporting a range of applications and disciplines.

Photeris serves laboratories and organizations working in food safety, water safety, and clinical environments. The company offers turnkey detection systems as well as custom research solutions, and invites prospective customers and collaborators to discuss their needs. Through its products and collaborative approach, Photeris aims to help users transform laboratory workflows with faster bacterial detection.
