How it works

A swab sampling kit linked to professional UKAS-accredited laboratory microbiological analysis.

The user collects a swab sample on site and posts it to the laboratory in the supplied prepaid packaging. The laboratory analyses it for E. coli, total coliform bacteria and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, then emails a written report.

Dip tests measure routine water chemistry rather than providing this microbiological laboratory analysis. A written laboratory result can support informed next steps when investigating water hygiene.
