New Instruments for Toxicity Detection

Laboratory & online systems
Clean and dirty water applications

NEW QUICKSCAN Reduces cost & is simpler to use


Quickscan is a recent addition to the "stable" of respirometers from Challenge Technology and now forms part of Envitechs RespSys range of products.


The Quick Scan is designed to meet the needs of treatment plant operators desiring fast, easy screening of wastewater samples. It utilises digital technology, combined with a "dry" system of low gas flow measurement, instead of bubble counting, which results in a lower cost device, simpler to set up and use, whilst retaining extremely high resolution and accuracy. The lower cost also makes it attractive to those with limited budgets such as academic faculties.

NEW "DAPHTOX II" SIMPLIFIES OPERATION & INCREASES RELIABILITY

A Powerful Instrument for Water Toxicity asessment

The NEW ToxSys_DAPHTOXII represents a complete makeover of the previously successful Daphtox, which uses Daphnia and their swimming characteristics to detect toxins. All of the previously difficult to maintain items have either been removed or redesigned. This instrument is now probably the most sensitive and sophisticated equipment available for on-line protection of water abstraction and network distribution.The bbe Daphnia Toximeter has been deployed worldwide now for over 10 years and is well suited to detect wilful (terrorist attacks) or negligent incidents (spills, accidents) as well as long-term monitoring for the "strategic" evaluation of water quality and hazard management.
This system measures oxygen uptake, BODst and SOUR for aerobic reactions and gas production in anaerobic reactions. All of the data is stored via the included laptop computer with preloaded monitoring and graphing software. Also included is the Challenge Technology 4-position stirring unit for reliable high speed stirring.
The unit may also be used with the soil/compost vessels for work on ground remediation or compost stability

New features include:

  • integrated sample treatment (micro-filtration, ultrasound cleaning and pre-heating)
  • Easily removed Daphnia chambers, redesigned to prevent air bubbles
  • prepared algae feed syringe – no algae culture or nutrients necessary
  • air-cooled peltier element – no cooling water needed
  • high-resolution 15" touchscreen PC allows easy, fast, user-friendly operation
  • fewer easy-to-use tube connections – less maintenance
  • different protected user levels (beginner to expert)
  • enhanced resolution of daphnia motion
  • storage cabinet for accessories
  • splashproof flexi-keyboard
  • multiple data connections: LAN, modem, USB, relay and 4-20 mA
Other Toxicity Detection Devices
Algtox - An on-line toximeter to detect substances toxic to suspended green algae, by suppression of "Activity" and hence fluorescence change.
StipTox - An on-line toximeter to detect toxic content of wastewater works inlets by sensing the suppression of respiration of acclimated bioculture
BioFix A-Tox & N-Tox Laboratory Nitrification suppression tests to detect substances toxic to either stage of Nitrification.
A-Tox : suppression of Ammonia to Nitrite oxidation
N-Tox : suppression of Nitrite to Nitrate oxidation
