Rapid Microbiological
Water Analysis
Portable device for on-site and in-lab use
Quantifies specific and total bacteria
Automated workflow for unbiased results in labs and on-site
rqmicro.COUNT provides a complete solution based on single-use cartridges. The automated workflow includes a flow cytometric quantification of cells from various water types optionally combined with a fast immunomagnetic separation of specific target cells.
The cartridge system enables a highly efficient and controlled process, eliminates sample-to-sample contamination, and does not require lengthy start-up or maintenance cycles.
Quantitative analysis of specific pathogens and total bacteria
Single-cell analysis on rqmicro.COUNT enables users to quantify both specific bacteria, including viable but non-culturable cells (VBNC), and total bacterial count in various water types.
Accurate and reliable results support critical water management decisions.
