Applications

Our system supports microbiological quality control in various areas of water management:
- Wastewater treatment plants – Monitoring biological cleaning processes, detecting microbial contamination, and ensuring stable effluent values.
- Water treatment – Control of process and purified water for microbiological parameters, prevention of contamination, and quality assurance in accordance with the Drinking Water Ordinance.
Ideal for:
- Operators of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants
- Laboratories for environmental and water analysis
- Engineering offices and plant constructors in the field of water technology
- Operators of waterworks and treatment plants
- Research institutions focusing on environmental and process microbiology

Enables rapid and clear assessment of the microbiological status
Automatic, objective data analysis and generation of analysis reports
Optimized for routine analysis in industrial applications
Low detection limit

Our Solutions - Your Safety

CyStain™ BacCount - For routine quality control of wastewater samples – so you can keep a complete overview of your microbiological parameters at all times.

Wastewater goes through a variety of processes to be safely returned to the environment. A crucial process step is monitoring the total bacterial count at various points in the treatment. The CyStain™ BacCount Kits support you in this by providing rapid and cost-effective quantification of all bacteria and their differentiation into viable and non-viable bacteria. This includes not only the culturable but also non-culturable bacteria (Viable But Not Culturable – VBNC). Thus, the CyStain™ BacCount Kits provide you with an overall picture of the microbiological status and enable you to optimally monitor, improve, and design your processes more efficiently.

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.
