Modern Water Releases Updated Field Portable Acute Toxicity Analyzer MICROTOX™ FX Series

Modern Water is pleased to announce the launch of an updated version of its field portable, acute toxicity analyzer, the Microtox FX. Formerly sold under the brand name, Deltatox II, the new Microtox FX is manufactured in accordance with an ISO 13458 manufacturing quality system and is lot traceable.

The Microtox FX uses bioluminescence technology to screen for both acute toxicity and microbial contamination. Modern Water's proprietary Microtox technology is considered the industry standard for rapid acute toxicity testing. The test is sensitive to more than 2,700 different and complex compounds with microbial detection levels in drinking water to 100 cfu/ml. Modern Water's Microtox technology has been cited in over 700 peer reviewed independent publications.

The compact design of the Microtox FX makes it ideal for use in field applications throughout the water distribution or industrial waste water systems. It is particularly suited for remote or hard to reach places such as reservoirs, storage tanks, or remote drilling fields. Because of its reliability and ease of use, the Microtox test protocol has been adopted by numerous regulatory authorities as the test standard for acute toxicity testing.

For further information on the Microtox FX mentioned in this release or any of Modern Water's other monitoring products please see Modern Water's website - http://www.modernwater.com/monitoring or contact your local Modern Water regional office.
