Microbiological requirements
The microbiological requirements for drinking water are precisely defined. The germs to be recorded are: E. coli, coliform germs, Clostridium perfringens, enterococci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Legionella.
In addition, there are other microorganisms that - depending on requirements - are important for a comprehensive drinking water analysis.
Test kits for the analysis of drinking water
VIT® E.coli/Coliforms
Test kit for the rapid analysis of coliforms and Escherichia coli, including lactose and indole-negative E. coli strains.
VIT® Clostridium perfringens
Test kit for rapid and quantitative analysis of the anaerobic, spore-forming bacteria Clostridium perfringens in wastewater samples.
VIT® Enterococcus
Test kit for the rapid analysis of bacteria of the genus Enterococcus and especially Enterococcus faecalis.
VIT® Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Do you suspect contamination with pathogenic germs? This test kit quickly analyzes bacteria of the species Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Scan VIT® Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Test kit for rapid, absolutely quantitative analysis of the pathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa in filterable sample material, e.g. water.
VIT® Legionella
Suspicious colonies? This test kit quickly analyzes all bacteria of the genus Legionella and Legionella pneumophila in parallel.
Scan VIT® Legionella
Test kit for rapid, absolutely quantitative analysis of the bacterial genus Legionella and Legionella pneumophila in water samples.
Dangerous legionella
Legionella bacteria are among the most dangerous drinking water germs. They are particularly dangerous when they are ingested in the form of aerosols. They enter the lungs with the water vapor from showers or sprinkler systems, for example, where they can trigger the life-threatening Legionnaires' disease, a pneumonia caused primarily, but not exclusively, by the germ Legionella pneumophila.
Comprehensive drinking water analysis with VIT®
The VIT® system offers comprehensive analysis options for a wide range of drinking water microorganisms. The microorganisms are detected faster than with conventional methods, with the highest specificity at the same time.
The products Scan VIT® Legionella and Scan VIT® Pseudomonas stand out in this respect, as they allow rapid and absolutely quantitative detection of living cells only. This means that all target germs present in the sample are detected and quantified. The detection of viability is particularly important here, as only living germs pose a threat.
