MWFK-051-PL AlgaeChek Ultra - Chlorophyll-a, Turbisity and Phycocyanin Kit by Modern Water

The portable fluorometer provides a cost-effective solution to monitor the effects of organic pollution, identify potentially harmful cyanobacteria and turbidity. AlgaeChek Ultra can be configured to detect up to three parameters.

Chlorophyll-a provides an indication of the algal biomass and is often used as an indicator water quality and nutrient pollutants. Phycoerythrin and phycocyanin are pigments found in marine and freshwater cyanobacteria. Many species of cyanobacteria produce toxins that can be harmful to human health or have significant environmental impact.

AlgaeChek Ultra operates in a different fashion to a single wavelength fluorometer, providing information about the proportion of different light harvesting pigments in the algal sample being analysed. AlgaeChek Ultra uses the principle that energy absorbed by the light-harvesting pigments is rapidly transferred to Chlorophyll-a, where it is used to initiate a cycle of photosynthesis. A proportion of the energy absorbed, however, is re-emitted as Chlorophyll a fluorescence with a peak at 682nm. All versions of AlgaeChek Ultra come with a Chlorophyll-a channel as standard, two other channels can then be selected between turbidity and phycoerythrin and phycocyanin-pigments that are prevalent in many cyanobacteria based algae.

The system can combine a sensor with a depth rating of 600m with either a wireless roamer and PDA or laptop connectivity. It provides a low-cost high-performance sensor for marine, freshwater or process applications. A Windows based interface is provided that allows the user to both plot and record time stamped data when operating the AlgaeChek directly from a PC.

Process explained

Fluorescence is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light. In most cases, the emitted light has a longer wavelength, and therefore lower energy, than the absorbed light. Fluorometry is the measurement of this fluorescence. Different molecules absorb and emit light at specific wavelengths. In order to effectively use fluorometry as a tool for environmental analysis the specific wavelengths of the absorbed and emitted light for the target molecules/compounds needs to be known. Modern Water fluorometers use LED light source to excite the molecules and then measure the emittance at the desired wavelength. The intensity of the emitted light provides the concentration of the target compound.

SD50970 QuickChek Atrazine (10 test kit) Requires QuickChek Reader by Modern Water

Atrazine is one of the most widely used herbicides in the United States and Australia. Since 2001 it is the most commonly detected pesticide in drinking water supplies in the United States.

Why test for atrazine?

Many research studies have associated long term exposure to atrazine with being toxic to wildlife, impairing the human immune system and causing birth defects. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has acknowledged the harmful effects and has limited its use to only be applied by a pesticide professional, with the exception for lawn care, turf and conifer trees.

In 2013, 73.7 million pounds of the chemical compound was applied in the United States and was used on more than half of all corn crops and up to 90% of sugar cane. High levels of contamination in water have been found especially in the Midwest and Southern United States making the requirement for a quick test kit to measure the amount of atrazine in water essential.

How can QuickChek Atrazine help you?

QuickChek™ Atrazine strip test produces results in just 10 minutes using the rapid enzyme immunoassay strip method and is ideal for detecting atrazine in both drinking water and environmental water samples. It has excellent analytical precision with a detection range from just 0.75 ppb to 10 ppb.

This innovative technology saves operators and laboratories both time and resources when compared to costly analytical instrumentation that can take over an hour to achieve results. This enables plant operators to take faster corrective action when atrazine levels spike due to storm water runoff.

SD50950 QuickChek Sulphate Reducing Bacteria RC II Ten-Pak by Modern Water

The QuickChek™ SRB Detection System is a rapid enzyme immunoassay method that detects sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB). The test employs purified antibodies to detect the enzyme adenosine-5'-phosphosulfonate (APS) reductase which is common to all strains of SRB.

The purified antibodies are attached to small particles that selectively capture the APS reductase enzyme. The particles and captured enzyme are then isolated on a porous membrane, which forms a reactive layer that turns blue in the presence of the APS reductase enzyme.

QuickChek™ SRB offers several advantages over cell culture techniques for SRB detection including immediate and accurate results. The kit allows testing of solid and semi-solid samples and detects all SRB, including SRB that is unable to grow in some standard media. The test results are not compromised by chemical or salinity interferences that are often found in field samples.

The QuickChek™ SRB kit is completely self-contained and disposable. Each kit includes all necessary materials to detect and enumerate sulfate reducing bacteria. There is no need for pretreatment or dilution of samples and there are not special hazardous waste disposal limitations.

Features:

• Semi-quantitative results
• Detects all viable and nonviable SRB samples
• Results available in approximately 8-10 minutes

Microtox® FX is designed for use in any sample location throughout the water distribution or industrial waste water system. It is particularly suited to remote sites such as reservoirs, storage tanks, ocean or lake going vessels or in any hard to reach place.

Chemical contamination of drinking water and wastewater

Microtox® FX is the portable version of the industry-leading Microtox® Model 500 (M500) laboratory analyser. The Microtox® FX test is fast, simple to conduct, uses small sample sizes and is very cost effective. Results correlate well with those from other toxicity bioassays such as fish, daphnia and shrimp. Microtox® FX is used extensively in the measurement of toxicity of "fit for use" water and wastewater treatment effluent. It is also used as an early screening tool for relative toxicity as part of a test battery.

Microtox® FX test systems are uniquely suited for drinking water surveillance where supplies are monitored regularly and at strategic points. It can quickly reveal any changes in the level of toxicity of drinking water making it the ideal solution for major events. Microtox® has been deployed during the Summer Olympics beginning in 1984.

In industrial and municipal wastewater, Microtox® FX helps assure compliance with NPDES toxicity limits, measures toxicity in influent streams and determines treatment efficiency.

Microbial contamination of drinking water

Microtox® FX can rapidly estimate the microbial concentration of a drinking water sample to a level of 100 cfu/mL without additional filtration or incubation steps. The data is available in minutes and is highly correlated with standard heterotrophic plate count methods.

Microtox® FX is extremely responsive and has been designed for use in a wide variety of applications where it is crucial to rapidly determine the biomass of a sample.

Applications

• Drinking water monitoring
• Emergency response: Biological contamination
• Emergency response: Chemical toxicity
• Hazardous waste
• Industrial effluent
• Industrial process water
• Municipal effluent
• Recreational water
• Soil
• Sediments
• Storm water

Process explained

The Microtox® FX system performs a dual function; toxicity testing and determination of microbial contamination. The Microtox® FX test system uses a strain of naturally occurring luminescent bacteria called Aliivibrio fischeri to provide acute toxicity detection. The bacteria emit light as a natural part of their metabolism. Exposure to a toxic substance causes disruption of the respiratory process of the bacteria resulting in reduced light output. The Microtox® FX photometer measures the light levels before and after addition of the sample, and the reduction in light output is a measure of the toxicity of the sample.

All organisms contain ATP as their main energy source and the amount of ATP in a sample is directly proportional to the biomass of the sample.

ATP reacts with luciferin/luciferase, the enzyme system present in firefly tails, to produce light. In the reaction, each molecule of ATP produces one photon of light; the light output of this reaction can be accurately measured using the very sensitive Microtox® FX instrument.

• Soil samples require prior extraction using the sample extraction kit (sold separately).
• The sample extraction kit provides materials for 12 soil sample extractions with alkaline methanol.

Sampling time

• Soil extraction time is typically two minutes per sample plus assay run time of approximately 60 minutes.

Specificity

The PCP RaPID Assay® immunoassay test does not differentiate between PCP and other organochlorines. The table below shows compounds at the limit of quantitation (LOQ)- an approximate concentration required to yield a positive result at the lowest standard. The IC50 isthe concentration required to inhibit one-half of the colour produced by the negative control. It is also used to calculate cross-reactivity values to similar compounds.

Basic Test Procedure

• Add prepared sample, enzyme conjugate, and antibody coupled magnetic particles.Vortex
• Incubate for 30 minutes
• Separate using the RaPID magnetic separator. decant and wash
• Add colour solution and incubate for 20 minutes
• Stop the reaction and read colour at 450 nm
• Quantitive results and QC parameters are calculated and printed automatically using the RPA-1I spectrophotometer

Test kit components

• Antibody coated magnetic particles for analysis of 100 test tubes
• Zero standard, wash, enzyme conjugate, colour development and stop reagents
• Standards for 0.1, 2 and 10 ppb as PCP
• Kit control as 1.0 ppb as PCP
