Our LAR toxicity analyzer TOXAlarm™ continually monitors drinking and surface water 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 even after events of detecting toxicity. 

With the ToxAlarm, measurements can be taken within 5-minute intervals. Thus, allowing enough time to introduce countermeasures after the occurance of pollution. The ToxAlarm offers three warning levels, which can be individually set.  ToxAlarm contains a bacteria culture, 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 amount of bacteria, the risk of the fermenter being contaminated is ruled out.

The analyzer is extremely low in maintenance because the bacteria mass constantly proliferates on its own for months at a time. Its only requirement is the feeding of a nutritional solution every two weeks.
