Water is one of the basic needs of life, and ensuring its fitness for use is a high priority worldwide. SDIX's products provide you with an accurate and efficient way to assess the quality of your water; whether it will be for consumption, treatment or contact; or for understanding the quality of wastewater treatment influent and effluent streams. Our tests are easy-to-use and provide you a low-cost, complete solution for rapid, reliable and accurate on location water analysis.
Water Quality analytical systems include tests for the detection of toxicity, petroleum compounds, pesticides, chemical contaminants, microbial contamination, water treatment polymers, and corrosion by-products.
Microtox The Trusted Source: Microtox® is the trusted source for water toxicity results for over 25 years. Microtox® is the only product of its kind designated as anti-terrorism technology and given Safety Act certification by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Whether you supply drinking water, consume water in food and beverage products, treat wastewater before discharging it or use water in your industrial process where toxicity and biological contaminant levels are a concern to your process quality, Microtox provides the results you need.
DeltaTox II Solutions: The new and improved DeltaTox® II is designed for on location screening at remote locations as well as laboratory-based water testing. SDIX water quality products like DeltaTox® II are designed to provide rapid, reliable and accurate results.
Drinking Water Solutions: Safety of drinking water can no longer be taken for granted and its fit for use needs to be ensured through monitoring. From traces of pharmaceuticals to potential biocontamination, there is a need to understand the quality of water from its source, through treatment and in the distribution system. Microtox provides rapid and accurate determination of water toxicity and the portable DeltaTox II analyzer can be used on location for both toxicity and biocontamination detection. To help water utilities manage their liability, Microtox® Bioassay technology was awarded DHS Safety Act Designation and Certification as an 'Approved Product for Homeland Security’.
Recreational Water Solutions: Effectively managing Recreational Water is critical to ensure the safety of all who use and come in contact with the water. Lakes, rivers and streams are used globally for a number of recreational activities. The DeltaTox II system and SDIX’s Microcystins detection kits are key tools helping understand and ensure that the water system is fit for use.
Storm Water Solutions: Regulatory enforcement of Storm Water management has been increasing over the past few years. The use of DeltaTox II to monitor toxicity of storm water runoff can enable users to ensure their storm water management systems are robust enough to prevent and mitigate certain compliance issues.
Waste Water Solutions: SDIX's Microtox® technology is designed to provide rapid toxicity results of incoming, in process and effluent streams: to ensure no surprises in complying with effluent permits; provide preventative value by identifying 'difficult to treat' incoming waste streams; and to assist in problem diagnostics at wastewater, industrial and municipal facilities.
Food and Beverage Water Quality: Water is an ingredient that is sometimes taken for granted as safe to use. When you take a step back and think about all of the ingredients that go into your food or beverage product and the quality systems in place to make sure all of the ingredients are just right, water quality is a critical component that is sometimes overlooked. Microtox provides rapid and accurate toxicity results to help you understand the water quality level’s fit for use in your process.
Industrial Water Solutions: Many Industrial Water applications, especially where the quality of recycled water is critical to the quality of finished product, can benefit from both toxicity and biocontamination (ATP) monitoring. The effectiveness of water treatment products to control equipment fouling is quickly understood with the use of the portable DeltaTox II analyzer.
Testing for Pesticides / Herbicides / Fungicides in Soil and Water SDIX's QuickChek test systems include
analytical tests for many of the most frequently analyzed
pesticides and herbicides. These systems are the most accurate
immunoassay format available for rapid field testing for water, food, or soil samples.
The RapidChek® SRB Detection System utilizes immunoassay technology for the detection of sulfate reducing bacteria. This user-friendly kit offers several advantages over traditional methods using standard culture media. These advantages include immediate, accurate results, the ability to detect all SRBs, including SRBs not able to grow in some standard media, and test results which are not compromised by chemical or salinity interferences often found in field samples.
Testing for PCB's in Soil and Water. SDIX’s US EPA SW-846 method approved tests for the detection of PCB’s are fast, easy-to-use, immunoassay format tests. They allow multiple samples to be tested (up to 50 samples at one time) and data is available in 1 hour or less.
Testing for Petroleum / TPH / BTEX in Soil. SDIX QuickChek® test systems for
petroleum hydrocarbons are designed for the rapid detection of
hydrocarbon and fuel contamination in soil and water samples. A wide
variety of accurate test formats are available including immunoassay and
turbidimetric.
Photometers SDIX offers analytical photometers to meet your specific needs. These photometers are designed for use with analytical systems and provide simple, accurate and economical reading of tube absorbances.
Microbiological/Algal Toxins analytical systems include tests for microbial contamination including Microcystins. This system produces accurate results in about 1 to 2 hours.
Polymers The OptiDose® polymer
test kit is a lateral flow immunoassay based strip test for the
detection of Rohm & Haas’ proprietary OptiDose polymer. The test is
designed to measure the amount of free polymer in a water system,
thereby ensuring the proper “dosing” level for each system.
