Philadelphia-based biotech LIV Process is developing a new technology that helps hospitals visualize dangerous microbes like Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) on surfaces — something traditional cleaning and inspection can’t reliably show.
Instead of just killing bacteria or spores, the company’s product uses a proprietary solution and special light to make microscopic pathogens visible on surfaces without needing a microscope. This lets hospital staff see where contamination remains after cleaning.
