The Endetec solutions for on-site microbiological testing offers a number of key features and benefits:
Features & Benefits
- On-site testing capability - no access to labs required, providing a complete, in-house diagnostic capability with results available many hours - or even days - earlier than results from samples sent to laboratories for analysis.
- Lower time-to-result than laboratory tests - results available in 6-16 hours, depending on level of sample contamination, compared to typical lab turnaround of 36-48 hours.
- Lower per-test cost - economical, single-use test cartridges typically cost up to 50% less then laboratory testing fees and the costs of shipping samples to labs.
- Available anytime - initiate tests on your schedule, not the testing laboratory's schedule.
- Unparalleled ease-of-use - obtain water sample directly into pre-sterilized, single-use test cartridge, then place in testing unit to initiate test. No mixing of reagents or other sample handling is required, and test incubation and interpretation is fully automatic.
- High reliability - Endetec tests are based on widely-accepted indicators of bacterial activity, providing results that are highly correlated with approved, standard microbiological test methods.
- Transportable - the complete testing system can be easily transported to where it's needed, which can be critical in disaster relief and contamination-response applications.
- Full test documentation - test reports are automatically generated by the test unit software, providing full test documentation and a record of test results, eliminating potential errors in test interpretation, result tracking, and reporting.
