iTOXcontrol is a multifaceted and sophisticated online water toxicity monitoring analyzer. It features an integrated and automated system for cultivating Vibrio fischeri bacteria. All the measuring process complies with ISO 11348 part1 and is EPA validated. Data can be transmitted to an external system to facilitate alarm monitoring and modeling decisions. The compact design is space-saving, and its low maintenance requirement with a cycle of only 1 hour every 2 weeks showcases efficiency. Ideal for a range of applications, this analyzer provides real-time data through TCP/IP communication, delivering a dependable and cost-effective solution for continuous water quality monitoring.
Advantages
The iTOXcontrol technology is based on a bioassay for assessing the toxicity of water. It employs the bioluminescent bacterium Vibrio fischeri, that is internally cultivated, which emits light as a natural response to stress, particularly in the presence of toxic substances. In the test, water samples are exposed to Vibrio fischeri; the reduction in bioluminescence is measured using a luminometer. The greater the reduction in light emission compared to a control sample, the higher the toxicity of the tested sample. iTOXcontrol provides speed, simplicity, and sensitivity and is a valuable tool in environmental monitoring, industrial discharge assessments, and regulatory compliance evaluations, providing rapid indications of the overall toxicity of water samples.
