How it works

Lab-grade bacterial testing, in the field.

The kit needs just 3 mL of water and returns a result in about ten seconds. It is a colorimetric presence/absence test, read by eye against the key below — no instrument to run and nothing to calibrate. That moves bacterial testing out of the lab and into the hands of the people who need the answer.

01

Ten-second results

A result in about 10 seconds — fast enough to test in the field, in real time.

02

3 mL sample

Requires just 3 mL of water per test.

03

A clear yes or no

Read by eye, by color. The test reports bacterial activity as present or absent — not how much.

04

No lab, no training

Field-deployable, with no laboratory equipment or technical skill required.
