Product Number: DSA-25C
The Deposit & Surface Analysis (DSA) test kit from LuminUltra provides you with a real-time measurement of total attached (sessile) biomass via 2nd Generation ATP technology. DSA can be used for any kind of surface, media or deposit, including biofilms, slimes, and biologically active filters. Save time through on-the-spot testing and remediation of microbiological contamination as a compliment to your existing measurement practices. The DSA test kit pairs with the PhotonMaster™ luminometer and LumiCalc™ software for seamless data acquisition and interpretation.
By forming and populating biofilms on pipe walls and surfaces, microorganisms can survive biocide treatment and accelerate corrosion, causing premature equipment failure. Finding and reacting early to biofilms saves on maintenance and replacement costs. The DSA test kit is one of the only methods on the market that provide a direct measurement of attached biomass, making it the first line of defense against biofilm accumulation!
2nd Generation technology is a dramatic improvement over previous ATP tests. The DSA test kit is specifically-designed to determine total biomass attached to any surface in real-time. Determining and controlling attached biomass is the surest way to ensure that you are able to minimize microbial contamination risks such as fouling or corrosion.
The DSA test kit delivers results in 5 minutes and is easy to perform by anyone using the included step-by-step instructions. All reagents are stable for at least one year and can be used in the lab or in the field. Speed and portability enables testing many points in any process in a short amount of time.
DSA can be used to quantify total attached (sessile) biomass in corrosion product, biofilm scrapings, slimes, surfaces, and even soils with ease. The DSA method is unique in its effectiveness to quantify the amount of microbiological activity in biologically active filters (BAF) in drinking water pre-treatment. Pairing these results with measurement of total active microorganisms in the surrounding fluid is the first line of defense against microbiological accumulation in your system!
Included in the kit are instructions for interpretation of the test results, enabling rapid and accurate decision-making. Furthermore, our revolutionary LumiCalc software provides advice for control strategies based on these general guidelines and allows for customization to suit your specific needs.
