Ideal for Harsh Wastewater and Environmental Applications
The LAR™ NitriTox™ toximeter is an advanced online water analyzer, specifically designed to provide real-time toxicity monitoring in wastewater treatment plants, industrial processes, and environmental monitoring systems. By leveraging highly sensitive bioluminescent bacteria, the NitriTox accurately detects and measures toxic pollutants in water based on changes in bacterial luminescence triggered by harmful substances. To learn more, contact us today. Contact us today.
Moreover, with a rapid measuring interval of less than 5 minutes, the NitriTox allows for early detection and timely countermeasures against pollution events. As a result, operators benefit from three customizable alarm levels, enabling proactive protection of water systems and ensuring regulatory compliance.

FAST & ROBUST TOXICITY ANALYsis
he NitriTox instrument uses bioluminescent bacteria to measure the toxicity of water samples. It works by detecting changes in the light (luminescence) the bacteria produce when exposed to toxic substances.
To begin with, a small amount of bioluminescent bacteria is added to a sample chamber that holds the water being tested. The bacteria used are typically a strain of Vibrio fischeri, which naturally emits light when affected by certain chemicals.
Next, the NitriTox uses a photomultiplier tube to measure the light given off by the bacteria. This device detects the level of luminescence and converts it into an electrical signal.
If toxic substances are present in the water, the light produced by the bacteria will decrease. This drop in luminescence indicates the presence of toxicity.
Finally, the NitriTox calculates a toxicity score based on how much the luminescence is reduced. This score helps evaluate the severity of toxicity in the water sample.
NO FURTHER PURCHASES NECESSARY
Firstly, it is not necessary to purchase or externally cultivate test organisms, such as fish or daphnia. Secondly, the toxicity analyzer is extremely low in maintenance because the bacteria mass constantly proliferates on its own.
