Municipal Water

Ensuring drinking water safety with 24/7 pathogen monitoring and rapid detection.

Natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floods, introduce significant amounts of contaminants into both surface and groundwater sources, compromising water quality. Drinking water contaminates also come from a variety of other sources including industrial and agricultural chemicals and byproducts, naturally occurring contaminates underground, and corrosion of lead and copper plumbing materials. 

 In order to safeguard water quality, our water sources need to be monitored continuously. When harmful microbes are present, they must be detected and identified quickly. BiSen Tech’s pathogen detection system enables waterborne pathogens to be detected and identified before harm occurs and offers: 

​

• Customizable pathogen detection—pathogens of greatest concern of various sizes and physical geometry can be simultaneously targeted.

• Sensors that can be incorporated into large fixed installations to protect municipal water supplies or in smaller hand-held devices for field use. 

• Self-cleaning, reusable sensors that allow for continuous monitoring and low cost of operation.

• Rapid pathogen detection and identification—microbe preparation and amplification are unnecessary, allowing for on-site, autonomous pathogen detection within seconds and pathogen identification within minutes. 

• Low operating cost—There are no moving parts to maintain, and no consumables, lab equipment, or technicians are required.
