BACTcontrol

Online monitoring of total and specific bacterial activity (E. coli and coliforms) in water

Description

BACTcontrol is an early warning system that integrates officially accepted methods for the detection of microbiological activity.
Measurements are carried out within a short time frame — 1 to 2 hours, depending on the sample volume and cleaning procedures.
This is in contrast to classical microbiological methods, which are labor-intensive and require cultivation of organisms, often taking 24 to 48 hours to deliver reliable results.
