Water testing

We have experience testing a range of water sources and have a range of analytical techniques to suit your needs. Below is a list of some of the common analysis we provide:

• pH

• Conductivity

• Dissolved oxygen

• Temperature

• Chlorine (free and total)

• Total suspended solids

• Metals (e.g. Lead, Arsenic, Copper, Cadmium, Chromium, Zinc)

• Biological oxygen demand

• Ammonium

• Nitrate

• Nitrite

• Ortho-phosphate

• Total phosphate

• Total organic carbon

• Inorganic carbon

• Nitrogen

• Chlorophyll A

• 7 species of anions and 5 species of cations

• Toxicity assays

• Faecal coliforms (Colilert test)

• Enterococci (Enterolert test)

• Indicator viruses (E.g. Bacteriophage MS2)

• Microbial analysis (E.g. culture: total bacterial counts, total heterotrophic bacteria, targeted microbes (e.g. IRB, MAC, Legionella, Salmonella, Pseudomonas, Campylobacter, MS2, E. coli); molecular analysis: qPCR, PCR of targeted microbes, 16srRNA analysis of microbial communities; flow cytometry analysis (bacteria and viral communities targeted microbes and alive/injured/dead populations); microscopy).
