Company profile

CheckLight’s solutions are based on breakthrough proprietary bioluminescence - based technology. CheckLight utilizes non-pathogenic luminescent marine bacteria as sensitive biosensors - Biological monitoring (or biomonitoring) that can rapidly indicate changes in water quality.

CheckLight’s ground-breaking technology has produced bioassays that enable long term storage, are highly sensitive to very low concentrations of a wide range of contaminants and provide highly reliable and consistent results, within minutes and can be stored for long periods. CheckLight has succeeded in simplifying the bioassay by providing user-friendly products that can be easily used in either the field or laboratory setting.

CheckLight supplies its customers with innovative methods, testing kits and continuous & automatic biomonitors for early warning of drinking water contamination. CheckLight’s solutions are used as critical components of contamination warning systems to detect, as early as possible, a wide range of contaminating sources in drinking water, as well as the potential for bacterial re-growth.

Founded in 2001 by Dr. Nirit Ulitzur, CheckLight Ltd. is a private company, based in Israel. Since its foundation CheckLight has engaged extensively in developing and marketing technologies for drinking water quality testing applications. In early 2008 WhiteWater, a leading Israeli water technologies company, became a strategic investor in CheckLight.

CheckLight’s technologies are based on the scientific work carried out by Professor Shimon Ulitzur, a world renowned expert in the field of marine bioluminescence who has dedicated over thirty years to Researching the field.
