Water Quality Testing
Know within minutes that your process is under control
Quantifying bacterial counts in water is important to control the microbial ecology of water samples. For routine quality control of water samples in industrial processes, an easy-to-use and cost-effective test system to enumerate bacteria in many types of water-based samples is a good alternative to conventional plate counts. In many cases, bacterial cultivation only detects up to 1% of waterborne bacteria.
Water samples that are tested for bacterial counts include ground water, tap water, spring or surface water; and water in industrial applications such as sewage water, water for cleaning/sanitation/cooling processes, or water for distribution and desalination.
Sysmex Water Quality Control Testing Solution
The CyStain™ BacCount Total kit enables detecting the total number of bacteria in water samples. This is crucial to assess the microbial status of process control samples. The CyStain BacCount Viable kit discriminates between live and dead microorganisms, which is important to assess their physiological state. Both kits are designed for the quality control of water-based samples from different sources.
Efficient and quick
CyStain BacCount reagents allow for a fast and reliable bacterial quality control process. The BacCount reagents, when used with the Sysmex CyFlow™ Cube 6 V2m can detect a variety of bacteria in water samples in as little as 15 minutes.
Key benefits
• Fast quantification of bacteria in water samples
• Cost-effective solution
• Low limit of detection
• Enumeration of all bacteria, including viable and non-culturable cells
• Automated read-out of the results
• Perfect for routine analysis

VIT® Fluroscent Microscope and Test kit
Sysmex offers the VIT® Flourescent Microscope and Test Kit that enable the systematic and direct observation of wastewater microorganisms. This pioneering and patented VIT® (vermicon identification technology) gene probe technology, building upon FISH methodology, sets a new industrial benchmark for microorganism detection.
What this means for you:
- • Microbiological analysis right within the sample.
- • Immediate recognition of shifts and expedited response to process adjustments.
- • Identification of only viable bacteria.
- • Simplification of operations with no need for calibration and bypasses indirect parameters.
- • Pinpoint identification of bacteria regardless of their shape or size.
