TECTA-PDS has launched the Enterococci ENA test for the TECTA B16 automated microbial detection solution. Only available from Thermo Fisher Scientific in Australia and New Zealand, the TECTA portfolio of testing E. coli, total and faecal coliforms is adding an Enterococci test that is claimed to offer advantages to the water testing market over conventional methods.

Key features include: overall ease of use with no media prep or filtering; fully automated quantitative results interpretation with no visual or manual interpretation required; rapid detection in 2–24 h (depends on concentration of bacteria); on-site/remote testing capabilities with early alerting and remote access to results via automated email notification; and a limit of detection of 1 CFU/100 mL, with an upper limit of 108 CFU/100 mL.

The test is not affected by turbidity, sample colour or high concentrations of bacteria, with no need to dilute samples to reduce these properties.
