Filta-Max xpress
Food & BeverageWater
Filta-Max xpress is a filter-processing system for the capture and recovery of Cryptosporidium and Giardia. Principle: Filta-Max xpress is a rapid, efficient technology for the capture and recovery of Cryptosporidium and Giardia. The filter module has been optimized to capture target organisms from a
Colilert-18®
Food & BeveragePharmaceuticalWater
Colilert-18 is a liquid culture method that simultaneously detects both total coliforms and Escherichia coli in water, giving confirmed results in 18 hours. Principle: The Colilert-18 test uses proprietary Defined Substrate Technology (DST) nutrient indicators ONPG and MUG to detect coliforms and E. coli. Coliforms use their β-galactosidase
Water SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Test
Water
The Water SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR Test is a real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) test that detects and quantifies viral RNA in an appropriately prepared wastewater concentrate sample. When used with the 105 ml concentration protocol, the lowest concentration of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater that can be detected by the
Enterolert®-DW
Water
Enterolert-DW is a liquid culture method that enumerates enterococci in drinking water and bathing water at 1 / 100 mL and 10 / 100 mL MPN respectively in the presence of heterotrophic bacteria in numbers as high as 1,000,000 MPN per 100 mL sample, providing confirmed results within 24 hours. Principle: The Enterolert®-DW Test uses a
Legiolert®
Water
Legiolert is a liquid culture method that detects Legionella pneumophila (the primary cause of Legionnaires’ disease) in water samples, giving confirmed results within 7 days. Principle: The Legiolert test detects Legionella pneumophila in potable and non-potable water samples. The Legiolert test is based on a
Pseudalert®
Water
Pseudalert is a liquid culture method that detects the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in water samples in 24 hours with no additional confirmation steps. Principle: Pseudalert is based on a bacterial enzyme detection technology that signals the presence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa through the hydrolysis of
IDEXX Tecta®
Water
The IDEXX Tecta® system is a complete, self-contained water testing system, providing rapid evidence of bacterial contamination, either within or outside of a traditional laboratory setting. It is a rapid automated water microbiology testing instrument for detection of coliforms, E. coli, faecal coliforms and Enterococci. Principle: Detection of bacterial
EasyDisc™
Water
EasyDisc™ provides faster, easier quantification of heterotrophic bacteria in water. Principle: EasyDisc offers an easy solution for HPC testing with no agar preparation needed, requiring less than one minute of hands-on time to process a sample. Positive results appear as blue colonies, removing any ambiguity of results, and colonyMicrobiology Product Areas
