Blue Analytics AS is a biotechnology company specializing in diagnostics and genomics, with a focus on the aquaculture industry. The company offers a wide range of services, including tracking, genotyping and disease prevention. Their analysis methods are developed to ensure quality and traceability throughout the production and distribution chain, from farm to fork. This includes testing fish health using fish-friendly sampling methods for infection detection in water.
The company has recently hired Marianne Hauglid Flågeng as a new laboratory manager, which strengthens their expertise in fish health analysis. Blue Analytics AS uses modern technology, such as PCR testing, to check the health status of fish by analyzing tissue samples. This makes it possible to detect the presence of viruses, bacteria and parasites, as well as to perform DNA analyses to trace the fish back to its owner in case of suspected escape or fraud. The company has a strong focus on sustainable and innovative solutions within biotechnology.
