Iranian Company Uses AI to Develop Bactometer Device

“Our company's product is the Optomac (Bactometer) device, which can detect the concentration of bacteria in solutions; of course, bacteria that are in suspension and visible,” Yasin Sama’ei, the executive director of the company stationed at the incubator center of the Islamic Azad University’s Isfahan branch, told ANA on the sidelines of Asr-e Omid event in the Northwestern city of Tabriz.

“The customers of this device include drinking water production companies, food, research companies, universities and university laboratories,” he added.

“This device is small and portable and does not require many accessories; it just connects to electricity and starts working,” Sama’ei said.

He explained that with the help of artificial intelligence, this device performs detection in real time, while the same process in a laboratory using the traditional method may take several days or a week.

An Optomac device, specifically a Bactometer, is a rapid, accurate device used for detecting bacteria. These devices utilize optical biosensors to identify microorganisms, offering a faster alternative to traditional culture methods. 

Optomac devices are used in various applications, including the rapid detection of bacteria in water samples or clinical specimens.
