The international dairy technology platform ‘Dairy Technologist’ describes our LactoSens biosensor as a ‘Rapid Computerized Lactose Content Determination Method’ that can be adopted for both industrial and artisanal use. Considering the importance of dairy products as a means to fight world hunger and malnutrition, LactoSens can make a significant contribution in developing countries with a high prevalence of lactose intolerance.

DirectSens started a cooperation with the laboratory of Prof. Dietmar Haltrich at the VIBT BOKU for the project „StaREliS – Stabilisation of Redox Enzymes for long-term implantable Sensors”.

StaREliS aims to elucidate the deactivation mechanism of redox enzymes, which should serve as the basis for the development of stable enzymes for long-term biosensors.

The project is funded by a Bridge grant from the the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG).

From the dairy industry point of view, IDM stresses the need for a precise, fast and easy method of on-site measurement of residual lactose – to bring it down to the recommended 0.01% lactose-free threshold. This has been made possible thanks to the technical breakthrough of LactoSens^®. The recent NordVal validation of this method against the reference method for lactose determination allows dairies to easily integrate LactoSens^® into their certified quality management system: This method’s high levels of accuracy, specificity, stability, and reliability have proven to be in line with the ISO 17025 standard.

One of the world’s leading magazine in dairy innovation has presented the LactoSens^® biosensor test system as lactose-free market opener for dairies:

Barriers of previously-used reference methods for precise lactose 0.01% threshold detection have been successfully eliminated. With the launch of the latest LactoSens^® 0.01% biosensor – recently validated against HPLC – it has become easy to benefit from a certified lactose detection method
