Novolyze and Charm Sciences partner to connect ATP testing with Preventive Food Safety Intelligence. New integration transforms ATP data into real-time workflows, investigations, corrective actions, and enterprise-wide risk visibility. Cambridge, MA - October 6th, 2026 - Novolyze, the Preventive Food Safety Intelligence Platform, today announced a technological partnership and direct platform integration with Charm Sciences, a global leader in rapid food safety diagnostics and ATP (Adenosine Tri-Phosphate) luminescence detection technology. Building on Novolyze's existing integrations with laboratories, LIMS, MES, and enterprise systems, this partnership represents a new milestone: the first time an ATP testing device connects directly from the hardware into the Novolyze platform. The integration lets food and beverage manufacturers connect ATP testing performed on Charm's novaLUMIIX instrument directly into Novolyze's Food Safety Intelligence Platform. Sanitation technicians can launch verification activities from the novaLUMIIX instrument using a dedicated Novolyze connection: Novolyze sends ATP swab locations to the device, and Charm's PocketSwab Plus five-second ATP results sync back automatically - connecting sanitation verification data to EMP investigations, corrective actions, and enterprise reporting. "The challenge in food safety is no longer access to data alone. It is building the connected workflows that help teams turn signals into decisions, actions, and prevention," said Karim-Franck Khinouche, CEO of Novolyze. "This partnership with Charm Sciences represents exactly where the industry is heading." This is Novolyze's first direct integration with an ATP testing device, building on existing integrations with laboratories such as Eurofins, SGS and Mérieux NutriSciences, enterprise systems including SAP, and LIMS platforms such as Labvantage and Labware. About Novolyze Novolyze is the Preventive Food Safety Intelligence Platform helping food and beverage manufacturers move beyond compliance toward proactive risk prevention. Half of the world's top 100 food and beverage companies trust Novolyze to elevate food safety and operational excellence. Learn more at www.novolyze.com.
