Monitor Potable Water

The Micro PRO™ system can be used to monitor total viable microorganism levels in water samples with results in 15 minutes. The traditional heterotrophic plate count (HPC) method requires three to seven days for results. The Micro PRO™ total viable organism counts trend with the HPC results, providing a rapid and sensitive tool for assessing water quality. The following reference demonstrates how the Micro PRO™ system was used to monitor drinking water samples:
