A-dec offers biofilm testing device

A-dec has introduced a useful new product to accurately and easily test the microbiological quality of dental unit water lines and surfaces.

The 2-Min Water Control System rapidly and accurately determines the presence of biofilm in dental unit waterlines, to enable monitoring and action as required, eliminating incubation periods or the need to send samples to a laboratory. A water sample is taken from the dental unit waterline and by adding a few drops of reagents, produces a result which is immediately interpreted and displayed on a Lumitester Smart device. When high counts are found, the waterlines can then undergo additional shock or sanitising treatments.
