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
• Two or three samples simultaneously
• Detection limit of 103 cells/ml
• etection limit for "clean" waters down to 101 cells/ml

Applications

• Corrosion coupons
• Cutting fluids
• Drilling fluids (Muds)
• Solids: biofilms, sludge, rust, mud
• Water associated with oil

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.
