The effect of sodium thiosulfate dechlorination on fecal indicator bacteria enumeration: laboratory and field data

In microbiological water quality testing, sample dechlorination with sodium thiosulfate is recommended to ensure that results accurately reflect the water quality at sample collection. Nevertheless, monitoring institutions in low-resource settings do not always dechlorinate samples, and there is limited research describing how this practice impacts drinking water quality results. The effect ...

Sodium hypochlorite dosage for household and emergency water treatment: updated recommendations

Household water treatment with chlorine can improve the microbiological quality of household water and reduce diarrheal disease. We conducted laboratory and field studies to inform chlorine ...

2G Rapid Microbiological Analysis Kit

The QG21-I 2G Refill kit is recommended for cloud water that contains suspended solids (organic and mineral solids). The kit determines the exact amount of extracellular ATP and total ATP. These values can be used to calculate: the amount of intracellular ATP (in pg/mL) to determine the number of viable micro-organisms (in EM/mL). the Biomass Stress Index (BSI) for evaluating the mortality rate ...
