The solution is designed as a tool to test water samples for bacteria (E.coli and Total Coliforms) anywhere and get the results in 1 hour. It makes testing accessible for many remote communities, while in urban centers, it can be used as an operational aid to optimize processes and schedule maintenance activities where the drinking water or wastewater systems require maintenance or are disrupted due to unexpected events such as floods. The heart of this solution relies on nanotechnology which is very sensitive and selective to the metabolism of bacteria. Electrochemical testing processes enable this solution to be compact and easy to operate. The solution uses advanced Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning models to make decisions on the presence/absence of bacteria as well as their quantity.

The Environmental Benefits

  • At least 24 times faster turn-around-time compared to standard laboratory tests in generating results
  • Quantify bacteria as low as 1 CFU/100ml
  • Up to 50% reduction in GHG emissions in energy usage compared to mainstream alternatives
  • 95% of the used test kit components are recycled or cleaned and reused

The Financial Benefits

  • ROI can be achieved in 6 months or less on the annual investment each customer makes in the product
  • Potential savings up to $1M per year for some clients
