Innovotech’s tests focus on providing antibiotic treatment options for chronic infections caused by bacteria in a biofilm state. It is a new technology. Traditional testing has been designed to test bacteria in a free-floating state, which is not how bacteria are found in chronic infections. Biofilms can be up to 1000 times more resistant to treatment than the same organism in a free-floating state.
Spectrum Labs has a respected international reputation in the field of veterinary diagnostics and Innovotech’s tests provide them with another opportunity to deliver the best technology available, this time to find treatments for chronic bacterial infections.

About Innovotech Inc.
Innovotech Inc. is a pioneer in the field of biofilm product development, focused on providing innovative and practical solutions to medical, agricultural and industrial problems caused by microbial biofilms. Biofilms are organized communities of microorganisms that exist in virtually every natural environment and are responsible for a host of diseases in human health, animal health and agriculture. There are few products or regulatory standards, aside from those of Innovotech, designed specifically for biofilm-forming organisms.
Innovotech has a broad range of products that address the issue of biofilms within a number of different industries, including commercially available products in three market segments; the MBEC Assay™, bioFILM PA™ and InnovoSCEPT veterinary kits. The MBEC Assay™ is a high throughput biofilm growth device that was recently approved as an ASTM International standard. bioFILM PA™ is the first diagnostic kit to assist physicians in the selection of the most effective combination antibiotic treatment of patients with biofilm-based chronic lung infections, while the InnovoSCEPT veterinary kits are designed to determine the most effective antibiotic treatment for infections in both large and small animals.
Innovotech also has two products in advanced stages of development; Agress® is a unique, environmentally friendly seed treatment and plant spray designed to protect crops against both bacterial and fungal infections and Sani-Lux™ is a light-activated, natural hard surface sanitizer.
