Aquagenx, a company based in the U.S. provides portable water quality testing products used all over the world by NGOs, humanitarian relief agencies, governments, companies, universities and private citizens. Aquagenx's water quality tests and kits are game-changing products that now enable on-site water quality testing in low resource, rural and disaster/emergency areas where testing was previously too difficulty, impractical and costly.
Aquagenx has three product lines.
- Compartment Bag Test (CBT) for E. coli
- Detects and quantifies (MPN) E. coli in a 100 mL sample
- No labs, electricity, bulky equipment, cold chain, or highly trained technicians are needed
- Anyone can use with little training
- Easy color-match scoring for MPN
- Works at variable temperatures, constant temperature control in an incubator not required
- Enables ambient temperature incubation at 25 degrees Celsius and higher
CBT E. coli Kit is available in a pack of 10 and 50. Learn more here.
- Compartment Bag Test (CBT) for Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)
Water quality testing for H2S is prevalent in India. H2S has been proven to be a reliable indicator of fecal contamination in water. Our CBT H2S Kit is a quantitative (MPN) test that is lower in cost than our E. coli test but has the same simplicity and convenience.
