Wagtech Potatest – Palintest
PTW10005
Widely used by organizations involved in large-scale emergencies or simple water quality testing projects, Potatest is a lightweight microbiological test kit that offers low-cost, rapid response testing of basic water quality parameters.
Designed to complement the increased emphasis now being placed on water security plans (WSP) and their role in risk assessment and management at every step of the drinking water supply process:
- Removable Water Safety Kit (WSK) – Contains instruments and equipment for visual testing to determine if a full microbiological verification is required.
- Rapid field microbiological analysis: use of membrane filtration protocols for the detection of fecal and / or total coliforms.
- Supplied with enough consumables and parts to process / analyze 200 samples.
