Professional Rapid Water Test Kit

• Highly sensitive

• Tunable detection limit

• Broad range of microorganisms

• Fast (30 min)

WHAT IS AQUAVIAL PRO

AquaVialTM PRO is the ideal water quality screening tool for water treatment professionals. Designed for monitoring microbial levels, biofilm formation detection, warning system for Legionella control, and efficacy confirmation of water disinfection systems.

FROM IDEA TO PROTOTYPE

Developed in collaboration with the University of Waterloo, this advanced nanotechnology works using microbial cell wall surface recognition. Visual detection of bacteria, fungi and biofilm in 15 to 30 minutes, allows for rapid corrective action.

How does it work?

Microbial cell wall surface recognition

What is it for?

Monitoring microbial activity & legionella contamination in water distribution systems and cooling towers

Why use AquaVial?

Low cost, visual detection, fast estimation, tunable sensitivity, readout with or without instrument

Why it Matters?

Rapid corrective action againgt: Biofilm & Legionelle, Microbialy influenced corrosion, Disinfection method performance

DETECTION ABILITY

The test detects low levels of most bacteria and fungi and is ideal for detecting the presence of biofilm.
The test has been verified to date using:

Legionella pneumophila variant Lp01,
Salmonella enterica ATCC10708,
Staphylococccus aureus ATCC 6538,
Escherichia coli (ATCC PTA-4752)
Bacillus megaterium (ATCC 21209),
Pseudomonas putida (ATCC 12633),
Baker’s yeast,
Klebsiella Pulmonae,
Pseudomonas aeroginosa ATCC 15442
Aspergillus Niger,
Mycobacteria terrae,
Candida albicans

PERFORMANCE

Tunable Detection Limit

The detection limit is tunable, and it depends on the sample volume used for testing. For 100 ml test sample, the detection limit is 100 CFU/ml , and for 20 ml test sample, the detection limit is 500 CFU/ml ( or equivalent MPN value)

Minimal intereference

The test is designed to have a robust response,with minimal chance of false positive and false negative responses from chemical interference

Consistent Results

s the test is designed to detect intact cells, the test produces consistent responses to a specific microbial strain, regardless of its metabolic function. The sensitivity of the test will be the same in both reach and poor nutrient environment, or if a cell is culturable or not.
