Bedfont® brings hydrogen and methane breath testing to the global stage at UEG Week 2026

Bedfont^® Scientific Limited, a world leader in breath analysis with 50 years of industry experience, is pleased to attend this year’s United European Gastroenterology (UEG) Week in Barcelona to showcase the innovative Gastrolyzer^® range of devices. As a leading international congress for the digestive health community, UEG focuses on scientific research, education, clinical practice, and industry innovation. With over 30 years of expertise in hydrogen and methane breath testing (HMBT) with the Gastrolyzer^® for gastrointestinal investigation, Bedfont^® aims to improve awareness of its noninvasive breath testing technology for gastrointestinal disorders.

Established in 1992, UEG Week has become a leading congress for gastroenterology and digestive health, with over 11,000 people attending last year’s congress in Berlin. This year, the congress will be held at Fira Gran Via in Barcelona from 17^th to 20^th October. It will bring together the global digestive health community to share the latest research, clinical developments and innovations in Gastroenterology.

Improving access to effective digestive health testing is an important global priority, with more than 40% of people worldwide estimated to experience functional gastrointestinal disorders. At Bedfont^®, we believe breath analysis plays an important role in helping healthcare professionals investigate digestive health in a simple, non-invasive way. UEG Week provides a fantastic opportunity to connect with the global gastroenterology community, share knowledge and demonstrate how our Gastrolyzer^® range can help improve patient care.”
