BactiQuant® results are easy to interpret.
The fluorescence signal produced is proportional to the amount of bacteria present in a given water sample. Result categories can be defined for each application.
The BactiQuant® has been evaluated for the past two years by the largest water distributor in Denmark; KE Water of Copenhagen. More than 1000 parallel analysis have been performed, at over 200 locations through out The Copenhagen water distribution system. Parallel analysis included the BactiQuant® and the traditional standard method (DS/EN ISO 6222) for estimating heterotrophic plate counts at 22 and 36OC. Operative threshold values have been established and calibrated against results obtained with EN/ISO DS 6222. Today the BactiQuant® is an important tool in the day to day operations at the KE Water.
