Contamination Testing Instrumentation

A major advantage over most analytical methods is that Microtox® CTM can detect contaminants whether or not there is prior knowledge of the potential source or nature of contamination. Other on-line toxicity monitors take intermittent samples and offer only one test result in typically 15-30 minutes. This means that brief events may be missed and leads to a high incidence of false alarms. Microtox® CTM takes one measurement every ten seconds, significantly lowering the risk of false alarms.
