India, March 15 -- Promega Corporation's new Water-Glo System offers water plant operators a rapid, highly sensitive and flexible measurement tool for monitoring microbial contamination in freshwater, process water, seawater or wastewater samples. The Water-Glo System, launched by Promega recently, uses bioluminescent technology to measure adenosine triphosphate or ATP, the "energy currency" of all living cells that degrades rapidly when a cell dies. Even the slightest change in ATP levels acts as an early warning system to assess the presence of live microbes and possible dangerous pathogens in water.
Water-Glo reagents were used in recent research by scientists at the world renowned IHE Delft Institute for Water Education based in Delft,...
