The Definitive Solution for Rapid Toxicity Testing

The new Microtox LX Series is the next generation of laboratory based acute toxicity analyzer. The new analyzer blends Modern Water’s proven M500 technology with improved features to simplify testing in demanding drinking, industrial and wastewater applications.

Features

  • Biological early warning system sensitive to more than 2,700 simple and complex chemicals allows the protection of drinking water supplies from accidental or deliberate contamination.
  • Test results highly correlated with other widely accepted toxicity test methods helps to ensure compliance with regulatory and effluent permit standards in wastewater applications.
  • Proven – Numerous independent scientific studies have documented Microtox’s performance as an effective toxicity screening tool in a wide array of applications.
  • Increased Sensitivity – The use of a new proprietary, fully dynamic photo multiplier increases the sensitivity of the instrument.
  • Fast, Reliable and Reproducible Results – Results available in as little as 15 minutes after initial sample preparation.
  • The instrument’s new automatic color correction feature adjusts test results based on the sample’s turbidity. This feature can be turned on or off as needed.
  • Actively cooled sample and read wells enable more precise and consistent readings.
  • Cost effective – A low cost toxicity test that requires small sample volumes.
  • Manufactured in a certified ISO 13485 quality system with 100% lot traceability.

Applications

Drinking Water Plants

  • monitor for accidental or deliberate contamination
  • provides warning in sufficient time for action
  • rapid screening and confirmatory results
  • check source water
  • check in process water
  • check ‘finished’ water prior to distribution
  • check water distribution system

Wastewater Plants

As part of the pre-treatment program, it allows the facility to:

  • regulate the amount of pollutants coming into the facility
  • maintain smooth operations
  • minimize upsets
  • maintain good compliance performance
  • reduce and control costs and generate revenues by surcharging particularly toxic influent streams

Improve operating efficiency:

  • avoid unscheduled shutdowns
  • avoid damage/disruption to biological treatment systems
  • avoid effluent violations
  • avoid increasing chemical costs

Microtox Has Been Used In A Broad Range of Applications In A Diverse Range of Industries:

  • drilling fluids and drilling muds
  • mining, wastewater, soil and water
  • industrial effluents
  • industrial process water
  • marine water
  • medical/pharmaceutical products
  • food packaging materials
  • personal care and household chemical analysis
  • sediments
  • storm water runof
  • solid phase materials
  • food processing water
