Biogents – Science for Your Protection –

Chi siamo

“La zanzara come trova la sua preda? Che cosa glielo impedisce?”

Per più di dodici anni il dr. Martin Geier, ed alcuni suoi colleghi, dell’Istituto di Zoologia presso l’Università di Regensburg, si sono dedicati a rispondere a questa domanda apparentemente semplice: analizzarono le fonti di odore e le sostanze più diverse, osservarono il comportamento delle zanzare in situazioni sperimentali e habitat differenti, riconobbero nel corso del tempo i fattori chiave e furono, infine, in grado di comprendere il comportamento di questi pericolosi vettori di malattie.

Uno scopo importante delle ricerche è sempre stato l’applicazione pratica dei risultati ottenuti. Nel presente caso, quindi, l’obiettivo era di sviluppare metodi sempre migliori per combattere le zanzare in modo mirato e con intelligenza. Perciò, nel 2002, il dr. Martin Geier ed il dr. Andreas Rose, suo collega, fondarono la ditta Biogents. La Biogents, con i suoi 14 dipendenti fissi, gode oggi di ottima fama.

Le attività della ditta si concentrano su due settori: lo sviluppo e la produzione di trappole per zanzare ad alta prestazione ed i servizi di consulenza riguardo sostanze attrattive per zanzare ed altri prodotti simili. Il campo di ricerca e di sviluppo rimarrà anche in futuro il fulcro della Biogents, i cui ricercatori e tecnici si dedicano a sviluppare e a incrementare continuamente sia le proprie competenze che la qualità dei prodotti.

Prodotti

Circa il settore dei prodotti, la Biogents sviluppa e produce trappole brevettate per zanzare ed altri insetti ematofagi, le quali, confrontate con altri apparecchi, risultano essere molto più efficaci. Perciò la ditta attualmente è coinvolta in un progetto che testa l’impiego delle trappole Biogents nella lotta contro la dengue – progetto sovvenzionato dalla Banca Mondiale, dalla Fondazione Bill e Melida Gates e da varie Istituzioni pubbliche brasiliane.

La gamma dei prodotti Biogents spazia dagli apparecchi (BG-Sentinel) impiegati da ricercatori in tutto il mondo, da Enti sanitari ed altri professionisti alle trappole usate dai consumatori privati (BG-Mosquitaire CO2, BG-Mosquitaire e BG-GAT).

Ricerca su commissione

Nel nostro laboratorio offriamo una gamma di metodi con i quali testiamo, su commissione, l’azione di diverse sostanze repellenti: lozioni e spray anti-zanzare, tessuti particolari e prodotti simili. Diamo consulenza, ricerchiamo e sviluppiamo soluzioni su commissione oppure eseguiamo confronti di prodotti e test d’efficacia.

Grazie ai suoi validi contatti con ricercatori nel campo della chimica la Biogents è in grado di offrire l’intero sviluppo di prodotti antizanzara.
