AZF848519 Microtox® FX Test System by Modern Water

Microtox® FX is a simple, rapid, extremely responsive, portable water quality test system. Designed for acute toxicity screening and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) testing, Microtox® FX uses bioluminescence technology to screen for contamination in instances of drinking water emergencies and chemical spills into water systems. Microtox® FX is the portable toxicity analyser used with the Microtox® technology

The Microtox® FX instrument has a combined detection capability that provides a very sensitive and rapid test to detect two of the most probable classes of agents; pathogens and toxic chemicals, that may accidently or intentionally contaminate drinking water or wastewater. Microtox® FX's acute toxicity and ATP detection capabilities make it the ideal instrument for rapidly and accurately assessing if the quality of drinking water, from the source to the tap, has been affected by an incident.

• Biological early warning system sensitive to more than 2,700 simple and complex chemicals
• Fast - Reliable results available in 5 minutes after initial sample preparation
• Test results highly correlated with other widely accepted toxicity test methods
• Excellent correlation with HPC test methods
• Fully portable - lightweight with sturdy field carrying case
• Battery life of up to 8 - 10 hours with typical use
• Compatible with widely available ATP test kits*
• Manufactured in a certified ISO 13485 quality system with 100% lot traceability

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.

Includes:

• Microtox FX Analyzer, w/Case
• Microtox SOLO Reagent: 50 vials
• Microtox Diluent: 1L
• Microtox Osmotic Adjusting Solution

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.

Basic Test Procedure

• Prepare sample
• Add contents of dropper pipet to reagent well of cassette
• Incubate for 10 minutes
• Insert cassette into strip reader
• Select 'Read sample'
