Phagogene : Quelles floorutionsof hygiene and of disinfection for the laboratories, the healthcare andthe industry ?

Backed by the Christeyns group, Phagogene delivers a range of disinfection and hygiene solutions designed for laboratories, healthcare and industry. From hand gels and solutions to surface and equipment disinfectants, the brand combines proven efficacy to EN standards with real-world usability. It meets the demands of critical environments in R&D, QC, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and food & drink. Distributed by Dutscher, it benefits from technical support, rigorous traceability and stock levels tuned to the pace of the lab.

A range shaped on the hospital frontline, adopted by labs

Born within Christeyns, a group founded in 1946 in Ghent (Belgium), Phagogene first made its mark in healthcare settings before being adopted by laboratories and industrial pilot plants. Through successive outbreaks and tightening requirements, the range has evolved: reformulations, broader efficacy spectra, validation to the latest EN standards and alignment with the European Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR). Its development is driven by real-world needs — material compatibility, controlled residues, practical formats — and by thorough documentation to streamline audits and qualifications. Today, Phagogene supports the rising biosafety requirements across Europe.

Expertise and areas of specialisation

Phagogene focuses its expertise on controlling microbiological risk in day-to-day laboratory work. The brand covers core needs: hygiene of the hands (alcohol-based solutions and gels), surface disinfection (sprays, ready-to-use formats, pre-saturated wipes), and cleaning–disinfection of equipment and preparation areas. Efficacy is documented to EN 14476 (virucidal), EN 1276 and EN 13697 (bacteria and yeasts), and EN 16615 for performance under wiping conditions. This rigour enables the rollout of consistent protocols in R&D, quality control, microbiology, cleanrooms and technical areas in pharmaceutical or cosmetic production. The formulations prioritise an excellent efficacy–compatibility balance on common lab materials (stainless steel, glass), with low residues to protect balances, bench tops and instruments. Phagogene also embraces a responsible approach: concentrates where appropriate, optimised packaging, and accessible instructions and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for safe use.
