Faster Screening Tools for Safer Water and Smarter Operations
Small and midsize utilities — including those across Latin America — often operate with limited laboratory access, tight budgets, lean field teams, and growing pressure to deliver safe, reliable water to their communities. When microbiological results take too long, response times slow down and operational risks increase.
ExactBlue Limit Test Kits offer a simple, on-site screening solution that helps utilities detect potential bacterial contamination quickly, support field decision-making, and strengthen routine monitoring between laboratory tests.
Where ExactBlue Fits in Your Workflow
ExactBlue limit tests are designed to complement your existing monitoring program, making it easier to screen water at key points in the system without depending only on centralized lab turnaround times.
1. Routine Distribution System Monitoring
Use case: Regular screening across the network.
- Test water at storage tanks, distribution points, community taps, and remote sites
- Add screening capacity between scheduled laboratory submissions
- Monitor system conditions more frequently with minimal equipment
Benefit: More visibility across the system, especially where lab access is limited.
2. Rapid Screening in Remote or Underserved Areas
Use case: Field testing in communities far from lab infrastructure.
- Rural networks and decentralized systems
- Small municipalities with limited technical resources
- Locations where transporting samples quickly is difficult
Benefit: Get useful screening information on site, without waiting for long sample transport times.
3. Post-Repair and Post-Interruption Verification
Use case: After pipe breaks, repairs, shutdowns, or service interruptions.
- Main breaks and maintenance work
- Reservoir cleaning or line flushing
- Recommissioning sections of the system after downtime
Benefit: Screen water quickly before restoring full confidence in service conditions.
