CyStain™ BacCount Kits

CyStain™ BacCount Kit – rapid testing of your drinking water | Drinking Water

CyStain™ BacCount Kits

For routine quality control of water samples, especially for monitoring your drinking water

Drinking water is essential for the human body, metabolism, and well-being. Ensuring that it is free from critical microbial contamination is a fundamental requirement enforced by established water quality standards. Sysmex Partec CyStain™ BacCount kits enable rapid and routine monitoring of microbiological water quality, helping to ensure safer drinking water. In addition, they allow you to monitor and optimize your processes, reducing both operational costs and analysis time.

CyStain™ BacCount - for routine quality control of water samples, especially for monitoring your drinking water

Safe drinking water that is free from health-threatening microorganisms is essential for life. With CyStain™ BacCount Kits, you can monitor the microbial stability (fingerprint) of drinking water in a standardized, efficient, and rapid manner, enabling you to take appropriate corrective actions whenever significant changes are detected. Expand your knowledge of the microbiome in your water with the CyStain™ BacCount kits, which—unlike standard culture-based methods—detect all bacteria, including those that cannot be cultured on agar plates. This allows you to gain additional control over your processes and optimize them for cost-effectiveness.

We provide precise, rapid and reliable microbiological quality control for demanding applications.

Typical challenges

Delayed Results Due to Classical Methods
Conventional microbiological methods (e.g. plating) take several days to evaluate – too slow for process-related decisions or rapid intervention in the event of contamination.
Insufficient sensitivity at low microbial load
Especially with water that is only minimally contaminated – as required in modern industrial processes – many conventional methods reach their detection limits.
Lack of Standardization and Room for Interpretation
Visual evaluations or manual colony counts are often subjective. This results in variability in the outcomes and makes comparisons between locations or over time more difficult.
