德国ScanBec公司是世界上唯一一家生产致病菌分子杂交方法快速检测试剂盒的生产商，该公司凭借自己卓越的研发实力，在致病菌快速检测产品领域在全球获得了全球各大公司及政府实验室的好评。其中军团菌检测产品不需要预增菌，检测时间2个小时，可以检测空调水、环境、血清等样品，产品分军团菌、嗜肺军团菌。对于啤酒污染菌检测也是全球唯一的快速检测，比以往的常规检测及PCR方法检测快2天时间，做到了真正的快速，检测时间2小时。而且还有48孔的鉴定试剂盒，检测设备只需要酶标仪及可。

FastScan–Salmonella 是一种快速分子检测系统，用于定量检测沙门氏菌，包括一些相关微生物，例如S.Enteritidis，S. Typhimurium，S. Typhi 和 S. Paratyphi。FastScan技术是基于通过特异性捕捉和通过夹心杂交检测探针来检测目标分子。样品中微生物的目标分子能够被特异性微孔板捕捉，其他未被绑定的微生物在往后的若干个洗涤步骤中被逐步除去，因此只有军团菌能够被检测出来。至于捕捉探针，探针在之后的孵育过程中被结合在酶标记得目标分子上。经过几个洗涤过程和底物的添加，致使反应液呈蓝色，加入反应停止液后变为黄色。通过在450 nm 条件下测量吸光度值并且和标准曲线比对并利用FastScan-Software 软件计算得到结果。

Scanbec is a young biotech company focussing on the development and production of innovative rapid test systems for the detection of microorganisms in the life science sector.

The application fields of the molecular detection technology FastScan developed by Scanbec are the microbial process control in the food production, e.g. the detection of beer spoiling bacteria and the quality control of brewers yeast, the detection of spoilage bacteria, yeasts and moulds in non-alcoholic bewerages, the microbial quality control of drinking water, the detection of pathogenic Legionella bacteria in warm water systems and air conditioning systems and the monitoring of microbial processes.

Since November 2004 the product range for microbial food diagnostics is distributed under the name FastScan. Since June 2008 Sigma-Aldrich Company distributes our FastScan Products, available under the new product name HybriScan.

The development and production of FastScan products is carried out under the requirements of the quality management system ISO 9001.

In year 2004 Scanbec was awarded the Hugo-Junkers Innovation prize in the category "Life Science" for the development of the FastScan products for microbial food safety control.

In the future the FastScan product range will be continously extended to new application areas in the field of food diagnostics (detection of pathogenic and food spoiling microbes, detection of toxines, antibiotics and hormones in food), water and waste water analysis and in the field of medical diagnostics.

The company Scanbec GmbH was founded in year 2003 in Halle/S. and has it's headquarter on the Weinbergcampus in Halle/S. The Finnish subsidiary Scanbec Oy has it's laboratories on the campus of the University of Oulu.

The staff members of Scanbec are highly qualified scientists working in the fields of microbiology and biochemistry and possess over longlasting experiences in molecular diagnostics of bacteria, yeast and moulds and in the rapid analysis of low molecular weight substances, e.g. toxines, hormons, antibiotics and pesticides.
