Built by researchers, for researchers

BioSurface Technologies was founded in 1994 by researchers with deep expertise in biofilm science. What began as a small operation near Montana State University has grown into the sole licensed manufacturer of six globally-recognized biofilm reactor platforms.

Our work is carried out in close collaboration with biofilm research laboratories and universities around the world. Every product we release reflects real needs from the research community.
