Promoting rapid and in situ test of water quality

  • Water Quality Testing
  • monitoring

Portable LED fluorescence instrumentation for the rapid assessment of potable water quality. 

Using LED fluorescence instrumentation to improve water quality, it has been notable that each of the bacteria studied exhibited different levels of fluorescence as a function of their number. The scope for LED based instrumentation for in-situ, real time assessment of the organic and microbial matrix of potable water has clearly been demonstrated.
