WaterBugs™ and WKITS™ are preserved suspensions of environmental quality control microorganisms that simulate actual water/wastewater samples. Ready-to-use format (<50 CFUs) saves you time, money, and reduces your procedure time from 2-3 days to 15 minutes. They are manufactured using our patented Gentle Gel Preservation technique, which offers distinct advantages over lyophilized organisms, including enhanced recovery, reproducibility and delivery of consistent organism counts. Typical QC applications include: membrane filtration, most probable number (MPN), standard presence/absence (P/A), and chromogenic procedure (MMO/MUG) assays.

• No serial dilution steps eliminate long growth periods and stock culture maintenance
• Vials deliver quantitative range of colony-forming units (CFUs)
• Transferable labels allow fast and accurate documentation
• No need for sharps, pipettes, or forceps
• Organisms are stable (up to 18-month shelf life from date of manufacture), allowing the flexibility to order sufficient supplies for months of testing
