Aqua - BioLight Toxy

The Aqua Science BioLight Toxy along with the BioLight Reagents and Consumables brings rapid toxicity testing to the 21st Century. It offers the most up to date, dual option instrument available for bioluminescent analysis in the market. This is a result of matching a team of experts in ecotoxicity to fulfill the needs of toxicity users around the world. This state-of-the art luminometer brings together the capabilities of doing portable testing in the field as well as bench top testing in the lab. This all-in-one unit is designed to be used in conjunction with the BioLight Multi and Single Reagent as well as BioLight salinity adjusting solution, BioLight diluent and BioLight Recon. The BioLight Toxy instrument is used to read the differences in light from time zero and after exposure to a sample which could be toxic.

Biolight Reagent & Consumables

Aqua - Reagent

Aqua Science, BioLight Reagent comes in both Single test (for field protocols) and Multi Test (for laboratory protocols). BioLight Reagent has sensitivity to up to 3600 contaminants simultaneously. The bacterium is from a marine source and has had many names over the years. It was originally Photobacterium phosphoreum, then Vibrio Fischeri and currently Aliivibrio Fischeri (NRRL B-11177)*. One vial of reagent (1 mL) contains up to one hundred million test organisms. Shelf life is 3 years from the date of manufacture, stored at minus (-) 20ºC to (-) 25ºC. Once the reagent is reconstituted, it should be kept in the cooled read well and can be used for 4 hours to run samples

Aqua - Biolight Recon Solution

BioLight Recon – Recon is made from ultra-pure water that is prepared to meet requirements of reconstituting the reagent. It is good for 3 years from the date of manufacture and does not require refrigeration.

Biolight Diluent

BioLight Diluent – Diluent is a 2% sodium chloride solution used to dilute both the samples and the reagent. Due to the reagent being a marine bacterium, the 2% sodium chloride gives osmotic protection. It is good for 3 years from the date of manufacture and does not require refrigeration.
