MYCOMETER, INC.
TAMPA, FLORIDA

Mycometer was founded in 1998, by Dr. Morten Reeslev and Dr. Morten Miller as a spin-off from a research group at the University of Copenhagen. Today, Mycometer is the world's leading company within rapid methods for quantification of mould and bacteria in the indoor environment. Mycometer also experiences a rapid growth in the market for quantifying bacteria in water. Our first product, the Mycometer -water test for quantifying bacteria in water and other liquids was presented to the market in 2007. Two new products were launched in 2009; Bactiquant -surface which is a method for quantifying bacteria on surfaces after flooding's and Mycometer Mycometer A/S holds several patents and registered trademarks. A subsidiary, Mycometer, Inc., was opened in Tampa, USA in 2009. In 2015, Mycometer is successfully bringing its technology to Singapore and the rest of Asia through its new sales office in Singapore. BUSINESS IDEA Many rapid microbiology test methods are very fast and very easy to carry out. However, this is often accomplished at the expense of reliability. Mycometer methods provide value by being rapid, robust, reliable, relevant and reproducible. Mycometer methods are rapid and allows for timely results as opposed to the long analysis time characterizing traditional cultivation methods. In general, Mycometer assays can be performed in 30 minutes. However, rapid results are meaningless if they are not reproducible and provide relevant results. Mycometer products are designed to be robust and reproducible. The robustness and reproducibility have been tested by US-EPA who found a SEM of 5.2% when two persons using different analysis equipment tested the same types of samples. Using the same analytical equipment, the Mycometer technology can differentiate between bacteria and fungi using different chemistry. Mycometer technology is being used across 5 continents and improves the quality of life for millions of people around the globe every day. All Mycometer products are patented and trademarked by Mycometer. Mycometer technology has been a DOD preffered technology with the US Department of Defence since 2010. Mycometer technology is also used for verification of Water Hygiene in Professional Quality Systems ISO 22000/HACCP. Mycometer technology is documented in peer-reviewed scientific publications and we enjoy close collaborations with the industrial, consulting as well as scientific communities. For many applications the traditional cultivation methods are simply to slow, taking days to get results. With Mycometer products you get results within an hour. But getting fast results in itself is worth nothing if they are not reproducible or provide relevant information. Mycometer assays has been developed to ensure the highest standards in the industry  - focusing on both sampling and analysis as well as interpretation criteria. In our contínued effort to provide high quality products we have always emphasised the value of education and training. To ensure the best implementation, all users need to go through a proficiency course. The course is included in the equipment price.
