A faster method for detailed measurement of microbiological activity of industrial wastewater is now available.

The results are ready a few seconds after sample collection, which allows not only to increase treatment performance, but also to improve the operation and cleaning of industrial equipment.

The speed of the method also prevents the proliferation of microorganisms. The reagents added to the wastewater react with the ATP molecule of the microorganism cells and the microbiological activity of the sample is calculated by measuring the luminous waves that occur as a result of the reaction.
