Our LAR™ NitriTox™ toximeter analyzer continually monitors wastewater treatment plants for pollutants. Potential toxins in water are determined through the reaction of highly sensitive bacteria. The measurements follow at intervals of less than 5 minutes. Thus, allowing enough time to introduce countermeasures after the occurrence of pollution. The NitriTox offers three warning levels, which can be individually set.

NitriTox contains a bacteria culture (nitrifiers), which constantly and independently produces biomass. This means that there is enough bacteria at all times for each new measurement. As every water sample is tested with a fresh number of bacteria, the risk of the fermenter being contaminated is removed. The bacteria are extremely sensitive to a multitude of toxins. Through their reaction to the harmful substances in the water sample, toxicity can be reliably determined. For example, with phenols a reaction already starts at a concentration of less than 0.10 mg/liter.

Our NitriTox toximeter analyzer is a specialized instrument used to monitor the toxicity of wastewater and other environmental samples. The instrument is based on bioluminescent bacteria and measures the level of toxicity by detecting changes in the luminescence of the bacteria in response to toxic substances.  

The NitriTox toximeter analyzer is commonly used in these applications:

• Wastewater Treatment Plants: Used to monitor the toxicity of effluent from wastewater treatment plants to ensure that it meets environmental regulations and is safe for discharge into the environment.

1. Industrial Applications: Used in various industries, such as chemical manufacturing, pulp and paper, and food processing, to monitor the toxicity of their wastewater discharge and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.

2. Environmental Monitoring: Used for environmental monitoring, such as monitoring the toxicity of surface water, groundwater, and soil samples. It can help identify areas of environmental contamination and evaluate the effectiveness of remediation efforts.

3. Research and Development: Used in research and development applications to evaluate the toxicity of various substances and to study the effects of toxic substances on living organisms.
