The Gold Standard In Toxicity Monitoring

The New Microtox LX Series Analyser system blends Modern Water's proven M500 technology with improved features to simplify testing in demanding drinking, industrial and waste water applications.   

Biological monitoring techniques are playing a more important roles in the evaluation of acute toxicity.  Using bioluminescent bacteria have been in use for over 30 years.  Modern Water developed the Microtox technology to address limitation of conventional bioassay toxicity analysis.  Simple, fast and cost effective toxicity monitoring now available for your laboratory.  

Numerous independent peer reviewed studies have demonstrated the Microtox toxicity test results have a high degree of correlation with conventional bioassay tests such as fish, daphnia and shrimp.  As a results, waste water treatment plants use the Microtox Acute Toxicity test to help ensure compliance with water treatment effluent permits, they measure toxicity in influent streams, determine treatment efficiency in industrial and municipal treatment plants, and monitor processes from the influent to the final effluent.
