Water Test Kits and Indoor Air Test Kits
Micro Inspector Products
The Water Test Micro Inspector product line is designed for the do-it yourself consumer marketplace as a simple way for the homeowner or tradesman to get a quick, inexpensive answer to his concerns about Water, Food or Indoor Air Quality.
This product line offers 3 biological tests:
- Coliform
- E-coli and
- Total Microbe Water Test
Coliform is the most common test for water potability and E-coli is commonly tested for in both water and food environments. The Total Microbe test is a general purpose heterotrophic screen for the presence of any/all aerobic and facultative bacteria, yeast and fungi. Often when testing for a specific bacteria, other pathenogenic bacteria are missed. This test indicates any microbial presence, non-specifically. Further testing at a lab can indicate species.
In addition to the biological tests, the Micro Inspector line includes 6 chemical tests. These tests indicate presence and quantity of specific chemicals in water and take only minutes to run. The tests are: Ammonia Nitrogen, Chlorine DPD, Hardness Level, Iron, Phosphate Ortho-WR and Zinc. Also offered is a Nitrate/Nitrite Test Strip. Nitrate/Nitrite is the most common water chemical test and is important because high levels are unsafe for babies and pregnant women, causing Blue Baby Syndrome
