LetzTest Membrane Filtration Kit

The Membrane Filtration Kit quantifies E.coli & other coliform bacteria in water samples - in the laboratory and in the field. LetzTest has developed a portable membrane filtration kit that is perfectly adapted to the requirements of a water testing laboratory in limited infrastructure conditions: robust, electricity-free, high in quality, easy to transport, easy to use, independent of inappropriate consumables. Furthermore, the same kit can be used to quantify other relevant bacteria in water such as enterococcus, pseudomonas aeruginosa, heterotrophic bacteria, total count and many more. 

The Membrane Filtration Kit comes with a unique, re-writable practical handbook, which guides the tester through the entire testing procedure, from the moment of sampling to securing the data. The aim of this practical handbook is to ensure that the water quality testing data is correct in a setting where a robust quality management system might not yet be in place.

Visual color comparator test - 

chlorine and pH

The Pooltester is an easy to use tool for measuring free available chlorine, total chlorine and pH (acidity) of water samples. It is a visual, color comparator test and uses reagent tablets, which color the sample water water according to the presence of chlorine or the pH. LetzTest especially recommends this kit to test for residual chlorine in areas of limited infrastructure.

Note:  A small number of reagent tablets are included with the unit but larger quantities should be requested separately.
