What is the Availability of Real-Time and Online Ecoli Detection Solutions?

Published on by in Technology

We are looking for a solution that helps us to detect eColi in surface waters, hands-off or online, ie a system we can install and leave alone. We would like to get the results online and view this via a mobile device.

Does anybody know where to find this?

Thanks,

Mark

  1. Thanks all for your answers. We looked at all products and found the approach of VWM, v-w-m.at, very interesting. When i find teh time i will get back with some test results of the Coliminder product.

  2. hands-off monitoring of E. coli - online results

    Hi mark,

    as far as I can tell from you question our system can do what you are asking for.

    Up to 30 measurements (E. coli related enzymatic activity) per day, online data transfer and visualisation. Please check out our online monitoring timeline at (http://www.vienna-water-monitoring.com/index.php/en/online-monitoring). The Graph shows the live results measured by our Outdoor Measurement Station. Please contact me if you need more information.

  3. Real time monitoring of microbial indicators including parasites

    Mark, hi. We believe we have a related challenge and solution based on what you're looking for and you will be able to crowd source more about this topic through the technology Marketplace. In there, you will be able to follow the topic "Real time monitoring of microbial indicators including parasites". 

  5. Online monitoring systems

    Hi Mark

    There are the BactControl and Coliminder systems for the online detection of faecal contamination in water. Both work on the principle of detecting the enzyme β-glucoronidase as an indicator of the presence of E. coli . Measurement is different from conventional testing for E. coli that can only detect cells that can be cultivated on an appropriate growth medium.  These systems also detect cells that cannot be cultured but are still viable.

    They have been used to monitor faecal contamination of source waters to provide an early warning of potential contamination events. I have no practical experience of the devices at the moment but the results look promising. However, I will be looking into conducting trials of this type of technology within the EU Aquavalens project. It aims to develop and apply new technologies for protecting the microbiological quality of drinking water.

  6. Hi Mark, we developed recently a method based on flow cytometry to detect viable cells and coliforms (based on beta-D-galactosidase) as surrogate parameters of cultivation methods which can be completed in 40 min. Our results are going to be published in the next weeks. The methods based on flow cytometry could be amenable of automation but a such system is not yet available. Bye. Paola

  7. AMDS is in development of ToxicAlert. ToxicAlert will detect chemicals and e-coli, cryptosporidium, and other micro organisms to low ppb levels in 30 seconds utilizing our proprietary methodology with either solar battery power or line voltage. In addition ToxicAlert will email results to any number of locations worldwide. This is an in-situ process control system that does not require consumables, self calibrates, and does not require an operator. It is plug and play. This instrument is scheduled for release Q4 2015.

  9. Hi Mark , I truly believe that solar and Lunar energy are the way to go . My first step was to see if I could make something that could and would help the Solar Industry why making consumers trust ability but using a secondary source of power and ensuring the future environment this I have a accomplished , my patent should coming out this year were it has be lock up of three years USPO . Which has giving me time to think , if I can do this for the birds in the air why can I not use this for the fish in the sea , by chambers of illumination generating power . Thank you for your time Tammy James
