Our Edge

The current mission at Fluorescent Diagnostics: to make clean water accessible on a global scale. Our competitors all produce expensive, state-of-the-art bacteria counters that weigh in at up to 20 kilograms and cost thousands of dollars.

Competing methods of pathogen detection

We designed MicroTect with the intent to make accurate bacterial detection portable and inexpensive to better fit the needs of our target market, countries with the largest populations of water-insecurity (i.e. third world countries). While our competitors’ products are well-suited for research settings, MicroTect is designed for a much wider range of users and to be used globally.

By providing a all-in-one portable device, with quick and reliable detection times, we plan to exceed the current standards in the industry.
