Hello, we are BLUEPHAGE!
A spin-off of the University of Barcelona born in 2016
Our mission is to increase and improve water’s microbiological control through viral indicators by providing easy-to-use, fast, simple, reliable, and economical kits to analyze coliphages, thus assuring safe water for a better world.

A NEW APPROACH FOR WATER TESTING
Why Coliphages
In general, bacteriophages are viruses that infect bacteria and are extremely abundant in nature, probably the most abundant life form on Earth. In particular, bacteriophages outnumber bacteria in most habitats studied including microbial communities associated with humans and animals.
In a facility with filters, membranes or other technology, monitoring of bacteriophages provides greater safety than that of bacteria, due to their size (smaller than bacteria) and greater abundance.
