Quench-Gone Aqueous (QGA)
Quench-Gone Aqueous (QGA) is based on the measurement of ATP and is designed for low-solids, low-biomass concentration applications. Using a single analysis, you will be able to quickly measure microbiological concentration in any water sample with a wide detection range and a minimum of assay inhibition.
Use QGA to detect total microbiological activity in:
• Fresh & Salt Water • Drinking Water
• Oilfield Waters • Sanitary Water
• Cooling Water • Treated Effluent
• High-Purity Water • Reclaimed Water
QGA uses one analysis of Cellular ATP (cATP™) to directly determine the total microbiological concentration. QGA test kits use filtration to concentrate the biomass contained in a water sample, thereby removing inhibition and increasing sensitivity.
QGA is optimized to detect between 0.2 and 667,000 pg ATP/mL using standard procedures, depending on the volume of sample analyzed.
Note: There is no limit to QGA sensitivity. Procedural adaptations can be used to amplify the low-range sensitivity and to accommodate streams with large amounts of solids – these adaptations require additional equipment (LumiFilter™).
How to get started: The test kits contain all of the consumable materials required to run their specified number of tests. To use these test kits,we recommends one of the following equipment bundles:
Our expert staff can consult with you to determine the best means by which the data collected from our test kits can be integrated into your existing data management practices. We have multiple software platforms and can even assist you to integrate ATP data directly into existing control systems, process historians, and data archives.
Getting started with QGA is easier with direct training. RBD can supply you with on-site auditing and training services, web-based training, and one-on-one consultation to get your process improvement program off the ground. Contact us today to learn more!
