Rapid Microbiology
Effective and safe water management requires rapid knowledge of the bacteriological condition of the water in order to control, correct and optimize.
The Aquacion Group Inc. has tested and evaluated several specific bacterial enumeration approaches that are used around the world.
Our research leads us to recommend three different approaches addressing specific contaminants:
ATP-metry – measurement of total bacteria in water (manual test);
ColiMinder – measurement of E. coli bacteria in 15 minutes (automated test);
BioAlert – measurement of Legionella pneumophila bacteria in 3 hours (automated test).
ATP-METRY
ATP-metry is a molecular biology technique based on the principle of bioluminescence. It measures the quantity of ATP present in a sample of water, air or on a surface.
To perform this type of assay, we will measure the light emitted by an enzymatic reaction using luciferin and firefly luciferase thanks to a luminometer.
ATP Measurement
To control your water systems’ ecosystem, you can set up microbiological monitoring by quantitative ATP-metry.
ATP measurement reveals the amount of ATP on a surface or in the water through a luminescent enzyme complex. It is this quantity of light that allows the ATP quantity to be measured with an ATP meter and conclusions to be drawn with reference to the interpretation grid.
Aquacion Group Inc. provides the applicable Dendridiag kits from GL Biocon for water and surface quality measurement.

Automated monitoring of bacteriological contamination of water in 15 minutes
What is the COLIMINDER ?
Monitoring of microbiological contamination is an essential part of water quality monitoring.
This analysis highlights a significant health risk linked to the presence of pathogens such as E. Coli or Enterococci bacteria.
The institutions and operators in charge of this monitoring need rapid results to respond as soon as possible in case of contamination. However, conventional methods (laboratory) require a long analysis time, which does not allow them to meet this need for reactivity, thus leading them to look for new solutions offering shorter analysis times
ColiMinder is an industrial device dedicated to the bacteriological monitoring of water, fully automated and capable of measuring the microbiological contamination of liquid samples in 15 minutes.
