Overview
About Microtox Reagents & Toxicity Testing
Biosensor tests using bioluminescent bacteria have been in use for more than 30 years and their capability in detecting toxic substances is well understood. They use the principle that certain strains of bacteria emit light when healthy. When they are exposed to toxic substances, the amount of light emitted reduces. The greater the toxicity of the sample, the lower the light emitted. Measuring changes in light between healthy bacteria and bacteria exposed to toxic substances will therefore indicate the presence of a toxin in a sample.
The Microtox LX toxicity test system is the industry standard for laboratory-based rapid toxicity screening and analysis. Microtox FX is the portable, acute toxicity analyser used with the Microtox technology. Modern Water’s new Microtox CTM is a site-based, broad range Continuous Toxicity Monitor (CTM).
The range of toxicity testing technologies is both industry-major and ground-breaking. For a full list of scientific papers written about the Microtox technology visit the Microtox Bibliography.
