Molendotech Ltd

Molendotech Limited is a biotechnology company that specializes in developing rapid, field-based testing technology for detecting bacterial contamination. Founded as a University of Plymouth spinout, the company leverages patented endotoxin and pathogen detection methods to provide real-time results, significantly reducing the time required compared to traditional culture-based laboratory methods. Their technology, including the BacterisK+ platform, is designed to be user-friendly and portable, allowing for in-situ testing in various environments such as water systems, food production, and agricultural settings. By removing the need to transport samples to off-site laboratories, their hardware enables quicker decision-making and enhanced risk management for various industrial and environmental applications.

The company's innovations are essential for customers and partners—including water utilities, environmental agencies, and major food retailers—who need to monitor safety, manage pollution, and protect public health. Molendotech has established strategic collaborations, such as working with G’s Group to test for pathogens in fresh produce and irrigation water, and licensing technology to partners like Palintest for commercial kits such as SirenBW. These solutions help mitigate risks associated with bacterial exposure, protect brand equity, and ensure compliance with safety standards. Supported by venture capital and academic partnerships, the company continues to scale its operations to address international demand for rapid, on-site microbial detection.
