Our LAR™ ToxAlarm™ toxicity analyzer continually monitors drinking water and surface and ground water for pollutants and contaminants. Potential toxins in water are determined through the reaction of highly sensitive bacteria. The ToxAlarm toxicity analyzer is a device that is used to detect and measure the toxicity of a water sample. It is designed to provide continuous online monitoring of water quality and can be used in a variety of applications including industrial wastewater treatment, municipal water treatment, and environmental monitoring.

The analyzer uses a bioluminescent bacteria assay to measure the toxicity of a water sample. Bioluminescent bacteria are genetically engineered to produce light in response to specific toxins. The analyzer measures the amount of light produced by the bacteria in response to the water sample, and this measurement is used to determine the level of toxicity.

This is a highly sensitive analyzer and can detect even low levels of toxicity in water. It can also detect a wide range of toxic substances, including heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals. The analyzer can be programmed to provide alarms when the toxicity level exceeds a pre-set threshold, which can help operators take action to prevent water quality issues before they become significant problems.

With the ToxAlarm toxicity analyzer measurements can be taken within 5-minute intervals. Thus, allowing enough time to introduce countermeasures after the occurrence of pollution. The ToxAlarm offers three warning levels, which can be individually set. ToxAlarm contains a bacteria culture, which constantly and independently produces biomass. This means that there are enough bacteria at all times for each new measurement. As every water sample is tested with a fresh number of bacteria, the risk of the fermenter being contaminated is ruled out.
