We continue our series on BioLumix with Ruth Eden, BioLumix's co-founder, Ruth Eden, providing a demonstration of the device. The demonstration illustrates how BioLumix lowers the cost of microbiological testing in industrial products by a factor of 2 to 4 (from $20 a test to possiby $5 a test). A few highlights:
- Testing is accomplished by putting the material in a specialized vial that ranges in price between $2 to $3 depending on the test. Labor time is approximately 2 minutes, and no skill is required.
- The BioLumix software automatically produces the required reports.
- Traditional testing requires a trained microbiologist who grows cultures in petri dishes and then counts them.
- The traditional report must be produced by hand.
