Real Time Water Testing Kits for Bacteria

Bactiquick is a handheld bacteria testing kit that gives fast, reliable results in about 15 minutes detecting Gram-negative bacteria such as Coliform/E. coli, Pseudomonas, Salmonella, Leptospira (Weil’s Disease), Klebsiella and Vibrio. BactiQuick Built for beachgoers, surfers, swimmers, wild swimmers, kayakers, outdoor adventurers, film crews, fire safety, environmental monitoring and anyone enjoying rivers, lakes* or the sea, this portable water tester makes it easy to check bacteria levels before you enter the water. For each test the small mobile device as well as bacteria test reagents are needed. Results are available - on-site - within 15 minutes. During testing, a water sample is combined with a cutting-edge chemical solution developed exclusively for Bactiquick. The water testing device then heats the sample to 37°C for 13 minutes. During this time, the device detects Gram-negative bacteria through a colour-change reaction. The colour produced is converted into an electrical signal - the more colour produced, the higher the concentration of bacteria in the water and the greater the risk to your health. *Not suitable for testing of small still bodies of water, like small ponds and lakes with no inflow or outflow.
