Rapid
It takes less than 2 hours to get actionable quantitative data on multiple waterborne bacteria. No lengthy incubations or complicated sample logistics needed.
Mobile
Udetect is compact and light. Take it with you in a backpack into the field. Or take filtered samples to a central location, such as an office or hotel, to analyse at your own convenience. No cold chain needed.
Simple
In just three steps multiple bacteria are detected and quantified: water filtration, DNA isolation and qPCR analysis. Reagents are stored and used at ambient temperatures. No prior lab experience is needed.
“The reason we want mobile qPCR is that it’s much faster than current methods. You can measure the concentration of certain pathogens at the water’s edge”.
Bas van der Zaan, Deltares
“ We found the sample collection step of Udetect easy, and the absence of a thermal incubation step makes the whole method very fast. The analysis takes less than 1 hour”.
Bacelar Muneme, Weconsult
Orvion Udetect® offers E. coli test kits for detection of faecal contamination in water such as drinking water and bathing water. The E. coli test kit can be combined with kits for Bacteroides dorei and Enterococcus to monitor additional faecal indicators in one go. We compared Orvion Udetect® with the laboratory qPCR method. The detection limit of Orvion Udetect® is low compared to the conventional culturing laboratory analysis and clearly differentiates
between different concentrations of sewage. E. coli test kit page >
Several species of Legionella can cause serious illness such as Legionnaires disease. Testing for Legionella spp. as well as for pathogenic Legionella pneumophila and Legionella pneumophila sero type 1 gives you complete insight in your water quality. Udetect enables you to test for these pathogenic bacteria within 2 hours next to a sampling point, enabling source tracking and remedialaction on the spot. Legionella test kit page >
Udetect offers a wide range of water quality test kits. For fast and on-site detection of bacteria in bathing water, waste-water and soil remediation. Water quality test kits page >
UDETECT BY ORVION
Udetect is developed by Orvion, an environmental biotechnology company founded in 2013 and located near Rotterdam, the Netherlands. We analyse hundreds of environmental water samples every year. Samples from drinking water plants, wastewater treatment plants, contaminated groundwater and surface water. DNA extraction and the development of new bacterial analyses are developed in the Orvion lab. We used our experience and expertise from the lab, took it to the field and made it work.
