Rapid Bio
Total Aerobic Bacteria Test for Cooling Water
Designed for open recirculating cooling water systems and livestock drinking water applications within the global animal health industry, effective bacterial control is critical to maintaining system performance. As bacteria levels increase, water systems can lose efficiency and experience operational issues that escalate quickly, with some bacterial populations doubling in as little as 20 minutes. The Rapid Bio total aerobic bacteria test enables faster, easier monitoring to help you stay ahead of surface bacteria and protect water quality.
IMMEDIATE. ACCURATE. ACTIONABLE.
IMMEDIATE. Rapid Bio yields clear results in just 15 minutes. Compare with traditional field-based tests, which require 48 hours or more to complete.
ACCURATE. Rapid Bio test results (CFU/mL) are delivered by the Nalco Water E-data mobile app for greater consistency and reliability.
ACTIONABLE. With results in minutes, you can react efficiently and effectively to microbiological upsets in your water system.
