In May 2018, the Tamworth Laboratory received NATA accreditation to use Canadian technology from Tecta-PDS in order to automate its water testing for e-Coli and total Coliforms. James Anderson, Senior Laboratory Technician at Tamworth Environmental Laboratory, said, “The requirement for timely microbiological analysis for drinking ...
Water pans constitute the main source of rural water supply in Baringo County. This study sought to assess the spatial-temporal variation of total coliforms, Escherichia coli, Fecal streptococcus and Salmonella species in the water pans. A sanitary survey was conducted to observe the potential sources of microbial contamination on the water pans. Water was sampled from one protected and five ...
Ultraviolet (UV) disinfection has become an increasingly accepted method of handling water disinfection in these industries. The UV process causes destruction of DNA and permanent inactivation of microbiological organisms, resulting in a lower demand for disinfection chemicals for process, makeup or wash water in plant operations. ...
Natural swimming ponds (NSPs) are a new type of recreational water facility characterized by the substitution of traditional disinfection with biodepuration. ...
Water is essential to life, yet many people worldwide do not have access to clean drinking water and suffer or die from preventable diseases caused by unsafe water. Microbiological water analysis is based on coliform bacteria, but these microorganisms can have their growth affected by others, ...
This study used PCR-DGGE technology to establish micro-organisms fingerprints from water samples using comparative analysis with microbiological composition, and then determined the possible sources of biological contamination. The E. coli colonies at all samples were processed using linear regression analysis and compared with ...
