Biotrack B.V.
Biotrack is a different company! It has distinguished itself as `The Bio Information Company` that is focused on the development and implementation of novel microbial sensing technologies to achieve `real time` and `actionable` diagnostic solutions. We replace outdated traditional microbial methods with ultrafast methods of detection that feature `time-to-results` of less than 45 minutes. Our data provides highly reliable results that yield `peace of mind` to your processes. Our experienced scientific team has accepted the `global challenge` to shorten the time to microbial detection results. We are focused on developing innovative instrumentation for ultrafast microbial screening, detection, and specific identification, to `partner` with you to prevent ecological and health related microbial contaminations.

About Us
“Knowledge is power” a wise man once said.
So why is it that a lot of processes are performed without actually knowing what is going on???
Biological processes are present everywhere, but we continue to produce goods and materials while not truly understanding what transpires biologically within or surrounding the act of producing these goods and materials.
“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance; it is the illusion of knowledge.”― Stephen Hawking.
Biotrack lifts the veil of illusion; the Illusion of “knowledge” by providing comprehensive knowledge, useful and actionable biological knowledge.
We are Biotrack B.V., and it is our aim to provide knowledge to our clients; Knowledge that is useful, timely, and actionable biological data specifically identifying the biological activities within processes.
We provide: Bio Information Technology.
Our Team
The Biotrack scientific team set a new and higher standard for “Bio Information Technology”. Biological issues are seemingly everywhere simply because biological trends are developing faster and faster, whereas the systems to attain biological data knowledge has been stagnant for decades. This has left a vacuum of knowledge for actionable, specific, and rapid microbial detection that is now addressed with BioTrack’s automated systems.
Why do we live in the “age of information technology” and yet we rely on 100 year old methods to analyze bacteria?
We challenge that outdated premise and believe that The ”Modern Age” is entitled to and will embrace the “Modern Bio Information Technology” we have established as the new modern standard.
At Biotrack we strive to provide the best solution for our clients. We can help your company with your microbial quality assurance, food safety and health-related contaminations by offering technical solutions and diagnostic tests to uncover the source and cause of the problem.
Biotrack is a growing group of professionals with a myriad of individual talents who work continuously to provide our clients with the best possible bio- information solution for them: rapid, actionable, and cost effective biological data and trend analysis.
With an impressive cumulative background in molecular biology, mechatronics & instrumentation engineering, plus experienced project management, together we face our opponent: time. We accomplish this by providing you with “specific and actionable” data.
We are an energetic team of professionals who are contributing to a “better and safer” world by developing solutions with the aim of alerting and preventing ecological and health related microbial contaminations.
With confidence, we now can say we are able to accelerate microbial testing while at the same time raising the bar of accuracy by reducing false positives and/or false negatives. If traditional testing methods are characterized as “walking speed”, we have already raised the “state of the art” to jogging, and from jogging to cycling. Now at Biotrack we are heading for Formula 1 racing…. And we will be the first to achieve even higher goals
Each day we are challenging ourselves to improve our applications with the help of our partners and our many ambassadors at our reference sites. Join us today! Make your call to upgrade your biological detection capability to the “new age of biological data” offered by BioTrack.
History
As early as 2008, the founders were working on a technology that would allow microbial testing to meet modern society’s demands for accurate and detailed information. For decades the world and society were developing at an ever more rapid pace where the techniques for accurately detecting, qualifying and quantifying bacteria, yeasts, moulds and viruses had stalled in meeting the increased challenge of that societal pace.
For 2 years, BioTrack focused on the research and development of such a technology. This was combined with an intensive communication and testing program within varied fields of endeavor. . R&D together with in-field practical use was combined to meet all demands and expectations and lead to a commercial in-field testing platform, AquaScope.
In 2010, it became clear that the technology as developed was indeed viable, and a tremendous amount of interest was generated from different fields of endeavor. This leaded to the foundation of Biotrack. Biotrack B.V. was formed in 2011 when Dutch Water Technologies recognized the necessity to develop a “Biological Information Technology Platform” around this newly developed technology inherent in AquaScope and other related product sets designed for airborne detection of spores.
The founders of Biotrack, Reimond Olthof, Antoine Engelaar and Gerard Schouten, assembled a team of specialists in all necessary related fields.
Key disciplines were microbiological experts and high level Bio Informatics specialists, image analyses experts and software design specialists. All necessary disciplines were joined into one team with one prime ambition: to develop the world’s first Biological information technology platform, therein setting the next standard for in-process rapid microbiological monitoring.
Biotrack started working from Leeuwarden, The Netherlands in 2011. Today a large part of Biotrack’s R&D still takes place in Leeuwarden.
In May 2013, Biotrack moved into a completely new state-of-the art laboratory in Leeuwarden. Since 2014, assembly and production has taken place in Sneek, The Netherlands, where Biotrack’s parent company is also located.
With a fresh approach, and out of the box thinking, Biotrack created a new way of microbial testing; a new technology that allows for the possibility of culture free microbial testing. This technology forms the basis for the first genuinely new Bio Information Technology platform, AquaScope.
Biotrack patented its technology through a range of patents regarding its equipment which were designed to capture bacteria from air and/or fluid samples, while providing qualitative as well as quantitative data results. Now Biotrack develops and produces several products that are cleverly engineered into small compact systems applicable in a myriad of applications useful in a wide range of industries.
