Food Safety Challenges
Hidden Biofilm Contamination
Biofilms form in hard-to-reach areas of processing equipment, harboring dangerous pathogens like Listeria, Salmonella, and E. coli that can contaminate products.
Cleaning Validation Gaps
Traditional visual inspection and ATP testing cannot detect biofilm in complex equipment geometries, leaving critical contamination undetected.
CIP System Limitations
Clean-in-Place (CIP) systems may not effectively remove biofilm from all surfaces, especially in dead legs, valves, and complex fittings.
The UVisionDx Biofilm Detection Advantage
Dual-Wavelength Detection
Our UV P-Series borescope features breakthrough dual-wavelength technology specifically designed for comprehensive hygiene verification.
365nm UV-A: Organic Residue Detection

Benefits for Food & Beverage Professionals
Prevent Product Recalls
Detect biofilm contamination before it reaches consumers. Early identification of bacterial harborage sites prevents costly recalls and protects brand reputation.
Regulatory Compliance
Meet FSMA, HACCP, and GFSI requirements for environmental monitoring and cleaning validation. Comprehensive documentation supports audit readiness.
Extend Product Shelf Life
Eliminate biofilm that causes spoilage and off-flavors. Cleaner equipment means longer-lasting products and reduced waste.
Optimize Cleaning Protocols
Identify problem areas in CIP systems and validate cleaning effectiveness. Data-driven insights improve sanitation efficiency and reduce chemical costs.
