How it works
The Mobile Lab (model EBK-001) is a portable optical reader that quantifies the SPR/colorimetric output of ExactBlue refill kits. Where the standalone vials give a pass/fail, the reader returns numeric counts (e.g., 2-100 MPN/mL for coliform refills, 10-100 MPN/100 mL for sensitive coliform).

Comparison
vs. traditional lab testing
Membrane filtration lab culture
Off-site, multi-day turnaround. Requires lab account, membrane filtration manifold, and qualified microbiology technician. Per-test cost from $40–$120 plus shipping.
On-site, same-day result
Quantitative numbers on-site (not just pass/fail). Replaces the role of a portable colony counter and a courier-to-lab workflow.
