3 step process
How Stericyte works
Swab the environment
Swab a 10 cm x 10 cm area using the
industry-standard technique
Prepare and scan a slide
Pipette 15 ml onto a slide, apply a coverslip and barcode sticker, and place the slide in the scanner
Download the report
AI analyzes the slide and generates a report in 15 minutes
Quick, consistent results
Improved accuracy
Use an in-house or off-site lab
Scales from small to large labs

Stericyte: A New AI-Powered Approach to Rapid Microbial Detection for Food Safety
In this webinar we introduced Stericyte, a new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered rapid microbial testing solution from Techcyte that delivers rapid results for mold, yeast, and bacteria as part of food safety testing.
Why Stericyte
A smarter approach to enviornmental microbial testing
Current environmental microbial food safety testing is slow and often inaccurate. Culturing takes days, multiple tests are needed for mold, yeast, and bacteria, and rapid methods like ATP lack specificity—delaying corrective action and increasing risk.
Combines mold, yeast,
and bacteria into one test
Eliminates multi-day
culturing delays
Delivers results
in 15 minutes
Offers cost-effective testing
Provides visual documentation,
mapped to CFU data
Integrates with scanners that scale
from small to large labs.
