◆ Integrated Biosecurity Capability

More Than
A Torch.

Astravar is building a connected biosecurity ecosystem — four integrated layers that transform point-of-use detection into documented, auditable, AI-enabled compliance capability.

◆ The Four Layers

Detect. Capture. Certify. Report.

Each layer amplifies the one before it. Detection without documentation is perishable. Documentation without training is indefensible. Training without intelligence is incomplete.

01 · Physical Layer

BioTorch™ Detection System

445nm precision. The foundation.

Precision 445nm optical detection with calibrated filter system. The operational foundation of the ecosystem. No spectral modulation. No compromise. Forensic-grade accuracy from a sovereign UK supply chain.

02 · Digital Layer

Fluorescence Capture Application

Raw data. Evidential integrity.

iOS application engineered to disable camera enhancements, capture raw fluorescence data, apply validated digital filters, and preserve evidential integrity for video and still imagery. In development.

03 · Training Layer

Astravar Academy

Certified. Defensible. Operational.

Certified operator training, compliance interpretation, management integration, and train-the-trainer programmes. Making detection results defensible in audit, clinical, and legal contexts.

04 · Intelligence Layer

AI-Enabled Compliance

Agent-based reporting. Digital certification.

Agent-based compliance support, automated biosecurity reporting, digital certification, and integration with operational management systems. Aligned with emerging AI governance architecture standards.

◆ Digital Layer · In Development

Raw Data. Evidential Integrity.

Standard smartphone cameras present a fundamental problem for forensic documentation. HDR processing, colour correction, and computational photography features are applied automatically — and cannot be disabled through normal user controls. The result: fluorescence imagery that has been algorithmically altered before it has been captured.

The Astravar Capture App for iOS solves this at the hardware interface level. By accessing the camera below the standard photography API, it disables all enhancement processing and captures raw fluorescence data. Digital yellow and orange barrier filters are applied post-capture, not in-camera. Exported imagery carries a chain-of-custody metadata package that supports evidential use.

  • Disables all camera enhancement at hardware level
  • Raw fluorescence data capture
  • Digital yellow and orange filter application
  • Video and still image export
  • Evidential integrity metadata
  • Chain-of-custody timestamping

Detection Events Become Compliance Records.

The physical detection a BioTorch™ operator performs creates a data point. Without a structured system to capture, categorise, and report that data, the value of that detection remains local and perishable.

Astravar's AI-enabled compliance layer — built in alignment with MissionOpsAI architecture — transforms detection events into structured, reportable compliance data. Agent-based tools handle routine reporting automation, biosecurity certification workflows, and integration with existing operational management systems.

For organisations operating under CQC, NHS IPC, HACCP, or other compliance frameworks, this means detection data flows directly into audit-ready documentation — without manual transcription and without the delay that creates compliance gaps.

Agent-Based Reporting

Automated compliance documentation generated directly from detection events. No manual transcription.

Biosecurity Automation

Routine biosecurity workflows handled by AI agents — not manual entry, not paper-based processes.

Digital Certification

Certification workflows supported digitally, with audit trail and version control built in.

System Integration

Connects with existing hygiene management platforms, quality management systems, and audit tools.

◆ Supply Chain · UK-Origin Components

95% UK-Origin. Not a Badge. A Decision.

Every component specification decision for BioTorch™ was made with sovereign supply chain integrity as a design requirement, not an afterthought. The LED driver, optical lens assembly, filter system, housing, and final build are all UK-sourced and assembled.

The implications are practical, not just ethical: supply chain disruption from geopolitical events cannot interrupt production; lead times are predictable; quality is auditable at every stage; and for public sector and critical infrastructure purchasers, the chain of custody from raw component to delivered unit is fully verifiable.
