Testing remote water supplies using Exact Blue E.coli test kits

For organisations operating in remote and rural locations, waiting for laboratory water quality results can be slow, expensive, and impractical. Water samples often need to be transported long distances to accredited laboratories, increasing both turnaround times and costs. ExactBlue Technologies provides a practical solution by allowing users to screen for E. coli and coliform bacteria directly in the field, delivering results within hours rather than days.

Exact Blue’s AquaVial and Mobile Lab technologies are particularly valuable for remote mine sites, agricultural operations, regional water supplies, construction camps, and groundwater monitoring programs where access to laboratory services is limited. These rapid screening tools help identify potential contamination sooner, allowing operators to act before the next scheduled laboratory sampling event.

The addition of ExactBlue products complements HydroTerra’s broader range of field-based monitoring technologies. HydroTerra already supplies instruments that allow users to measure water quality parameters such as pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and chlorine directly in the field. ExactBlue extends these capabilities into microbiological monitoring by providing a rapid method for detecting bacterial contamination without sending every sample to a laboratory.

Together, these technologies allow customers to build a more complete picture of water quality at the point of sampling. Instead of waiting days for laboratory reports, operators can quickly assess both the chemical and microbiological condition of their water, improving decision-making and reducing risk in remote environments.

For organisations managing drinking water supplies far from laboratory services, ExactBlue helps bridge the gap between compliance testing and day-to-day operational monitoring, providing faster answers when they are needed most.
