As\u00ed, la monitorizaci\u00f3n mediante este indicador viral puede prevenir algunas enfermedades relacionadas con los virus humanos. Ante esta realidad, la misi\u00f3n de Bluephage es comercializar un m\u00e9todo revolucionario para simplificar y agilizar la detecci\u00f3n y enumeraci\u00f3n de colifagos en el agua.<\/strong><\/p>\n Desde 2016 Bluephage trabaja para impactar positivamente en la prevenci\u00f3n de una crisis global relacionada con la industria del agua, y 2021, la empresa logr\u00f3 la certificaci\u00f3n B Corporation<\/strong>.

THE COMPANY<\/h3>\nBluephage<\/a> was born in 2016<\/strong> at the University of Barcelona<\/strong><\/a> by researchers Joan Jofre, Francisco Lucena<\/strong>, and Anicet Blanch<\/strong>, from the Health-Related Water Microbiology Research Group (MARS)<\/strong><\/a> at the University of Barcelona, and with the leadership of Enric Queralt<\/strong>, a water entrepreneur, as CEO of Bluephage.\n\nThe company was born as a spin-off to promote and commercialize a technology based on a patent developed at MARS, which reduces the result time of the water's microbial analysis to only 6 hours.<\/strong>\n\nFor more than three decades, the MARS group studies coliphages as indicators of microbiological quality water, and this work has been the basis for creating the company Bluephage. Therefore, the start-up aims to develop and commercialize water microbiological parameter testing kits and provide learning services and advice to their customers.<\/strong>\n\nIncreasing and improving microbiological control of water, food, and biosolids through a viral indicator is imperative to ensure the population's health. <\/strong>\n\nBluephage focuses on becoming a leader in the viral indicator market by providing easy-to-use, fast, simple, reliable, and cost-effective kits for coliphage testing, ensuring safe water for a better world.\n\nBluephage is committed to its vision of Safe Water for a Better World<\/em><\/strong> and mission to help millions of people worldwide get safe water for drinking and agricultural uses.\n\nThe company wants to reinforce these social, economic, and environmental sustainability objectives with B Corp certification received in March 2021<\/strong>.\n\nBluephage received the 2020 Innovation Award<\/strong> as a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) awarded by Water Europe<\/strong> as part of Water Innovation Week. Water Europe is the European Technology Platform for water initiated by the European Commission.\n\nIn February 2021, Bluephage was recognized with the Sen\u00e9n Vilar\u00f3 Award<\/strong> as the best innovative company of the year, thanks to its disruptive and cutting-edge technology<\/strong> developed to detect coliphages. <\/strong>\n\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=\"#1a3373\" divider_weight=\"1px\" _builder_version=\"4.8.2\" min_height=\"11.4px\" custom_margin=\"80px||-15px||false|false\" locked=\"off\"][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.8.2\" text_text_color=\"#1a3373\" text_font_size=\"17px\" text_line_height=\"1.1em\" link_font=\"||||on||||\" header_3_font=\"|800||on|||||\" header_3_text_color=\"#1a3373\" header_3_line_height=\"1.5em\" header_3_font_size_tablet=\"\" header_3_font_size_phone=\"22px\" header_3_font_size_last_edited=\"on|phone\" locked=\"off\"]\n
THE COntext<\/h3>\nIn an international context where more than 2.5 billion people do not have access to safe drinking water<\/strong>, Bluephage assumes the social responsibility to offer a cost-effective and accessible solution to water analysis laboratories, water supply and sanitation companies, as well as health and water authorities. In alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal number six<\/strong> - \"Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all-\", Bluephage's vision and purpose is to help thousands of people obtain safe water for drinking, agriculture and sanitation proposes.\n\nIn 2017, the World Health Organization (WHO)<\/strong> launched the fourth edition of the Guidelines for Drinking Water Quality<\/strong>. The chapter on Water Safety Plans recommends using more resistant indicators, such as coliphages, for microbial water quality testing and practicing more frequent water testing for fecal indicator organisms to detect contamination and prevent waterborne diseases.\n\nIn early 2021, the European Commission<\/strong> adopted a new Drinking Water Directive<\/strong> that requires testing for coliphages as a viral indicator for water<\/strong> because, when present, other viruses can occur in the environment but at lower concentrations. So, monitoring through this viral indicator can prevent some diseases related to human viruses. In light of this reality, Bluephage's mission is to market a revolutionary method to simplify and speed up detecting and enumerated coliphages in water.<\/strong>\n\nSince 2016 Bluephage works to positively impact the prevention of a global crisis related to the water industry, and 2021, the company achieved B Corporation certification<\/strong>. This certification recognizes and reinforces the company\u2019s mission, vision, values, and the way of relating to all its stakeholders and supply chain and ensuring this commitment to its customers.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=\"#1a3373\" divider_weight=\"1px\" _builder_version=\"4.8.2\" min_height=\"11.4px\" custom_margin=\"80px||-15px||false|false\" locked=\"off\"][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.8.2\" text_text_color=\"#1a3373\" text_font_size=\"17px\" text_line_height=\"1.1em\" link_font=\"||||on||||\" header_3_font=\"|800||on|||||\" header_3_text_color=\"#1a3373\" header_3_line_height=\"1.5em\" header_3_font_size_tablet=\"\" header_3_font_size_phone=\"22px\" header_3_font_size_last_edited=\"on|phone\" locked=\"off\"]\n
THE team<\/h3>\nTo achieve its social, environmental and business development objectives, Bluephage leverages its most valuable resource: the knowledge and experience of the people who make up the team.<\/strong>\n\nEnric Queralt, CEO of Bluephage<\/strong>, maintains open communication with all stakeholders and the supply chain, involving them in the company's purpose and sharing its values so that everyone identifies with them and works in alignment with the company's mission.\n\nThe team of researchers is formed of world-renowned experts in basic and applied microbiology and virology in water testing methods, able to draw on more than 35 years of knowledge and experience. The team also comprises young professionals who bring a new vision and a new stimulus to scientific research.\n\nThis way of working enhances training and commitment to knowledge transfer, fostering development opportunities for future scientists.\n\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=\"#1a3373\" divider_weight=\"1px\" _builder_version=\"4.8.2\" min_height=\"11.4px\" custom_margin=\"80px||-15px||false|false\" locked=\"off\"][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"4.8.2\" text_text_color=\"#1a3373\" text_font_size=\"17px\" text_line_height=\"1.1em\" link_font=\"||||on||||\" header_3_font=\"|800||on|||||\" header_3_text_color=\"#1a3373\" header_3_line_height=\"1.5em\" header_3_font_size_tablet=\"\" header_3_font_size_phone=\"22px\" header_3_font_size_last_edited=\"on|phone\" locked=\"off\"]\n
THE products<\/h3>\nBluephage's innovation is about simplifying and accelerating the coliphage enumeration process.\n\nAccording to ISO and US-EPA international standardized methods, the company offers easy and fast kits to shorten the coliphage detection and enumeration process to six hours.\n\nThe company currently markets two types of kits:<\/strong>\n
