PMEU applications for water hygiene analyses have been published in "Rakennustarkastuspäivät 2010"



Novel PMEU water hygiene analyses, intended in the quantitative control of total coliforms, E.coli and enterococci, have been published in "Rakennustarkastuspäivät 2010" Conference, Kuopio, Finland at the end of March. This annual event is dedicated to professionals of building regulations and related administration and collected over 200 participants to the beutiful capital of Savo region, in the middle of Saimaa lake district.

SAMPLION Ltd. was exhibiting PMEU Spectrion and its water hygiene applications, now qualified by VTT, alongside Suomen Jätevesi Ltd. which is the major supplier of small-scale waste water purification systems in Finland.

The picture above demonstrates the combination of selective growth medium and MUG-based UV fluorescence confirmation of E.coli. Among the three PMEU syringes, only the one on the left, containing a culture of E.coli, indicates this fluorescence. This PMEU method is now approved by VTT, Technical Research Centre of Finland (VTT-S-01705-10) and it also follows the guidelines of international standardization (SFS-EN ISO 9308-3) to fulfill the needs of rapid, quantitative control of hygiene indicator bacteria.
