Canadian Tech Start-Up on the Verge of Revolutionizing Global Water Quality Screen Testing

Bringing together the use of mobile, nanotechnology and predictive software, Exact Blue Inc. has just released a new device enabling users to screen their own water for unsafe levels of microbial contamination.

Water quality testing and monitoring is about to get a major upgrade thanks to a promising new company based out of Ontario, Canada.

This disruptive technology offers a quick and easy solution to water testing that is able to detect 50 times more bacteria and fungi than the traditional laboratory method.  

With a goal to make accurate water testing available to everyone on the planet, the Exact Blue team created a solution to provide users with the ability to test their own water, whenever and wherever they want. Using the handheld device, no bigger than a computer mouse, users prepare the water sample, insert the vial into the device and read the test results displayed on the ExactBlue Smartphone app.

With only minutes required for each procedure, consumers can retest samples, or test different sites in a fraction of the time it would take through traditional testing means.

Currently, the ExactBlue device can screen for total bacteria and fungi, including E.coli, Staphylococcus Aureus, Salmonella, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa as well as chlorine. Using the software, users can track their levels of these contaminants to understand trends over time, thus creating an early warning system when relevant changes are detected.

Expansion plans are already in the works to broaden their testing capabilities to include specific strains of bacteria as well as lead. New features on the horizon involve a feedback loop that offers users information on how to treat their water to make it safer to use.

Exact Blue Inc's vision is to enable smart, accurate, and affordable mobile water contamination testing that
serves as a early warning system, locally and globally.
