Products
Online automated water quality monitor (ALARM)
Automated online instrument that collects 100 mL water samples at set intervals, mixes with growth medium, incubates, measures fluorescence and transmits results; reported unattended runtime up to 21 days and detection down to ~1 cfu/100 mL for coliforms/E. coli.
At-line multi-well monitor (CALM)
At-line automated system that uses pre-filled multiwell trays for multi-organism analysis and supports Presence/Absence, Time-to-Detect and MPN methods with LAN/PLC integration; typical detection times 2–12 hours depending on method.
Portable field test kit (Field Kit)
Portable kit including a micro detector, incubator, power converters, prefilled vials and accessories enabling rapid presence/absence and quantitative MPN testing in the field with rapid methods reporting results from ~75 minutes to a few hours.
Colorimetric seafood spoilage test (FAST fish test)
Assay to detect sulfide-producing bacteria associated with seafood spoilage by a color change in the sample tube; time to result reported as 3–10 hours.
