Water Testing – Biofilm Swabs
Investigates high coliform or Pseudomonas aeruginosa levels as indicated by a microbiological water test. Swabs are processed and the bacterial species growth is identified and quantified. To determine the best disinfectant that will be most effective at removing the established biofilm in your water lines we will evaluate the primary biofilm-causing bacteria against a panel of common disinfectants at various concentrations, so the producer knows exactly what to use.
