Water is a precious resource that is vital for all aspects of life. Ensuring its safety and quality is of utmost importance, whether it is for drinking water or wastewater management. In this blog post, on World Water Day, we will explore comprehensive solutions that enable accurate and efficient water testing. We will also delve into the significance of drinking water analysis and wastewater analysis, along with the advantages of automating these processes.
Drinking water analysis

Drinking water analysis plays a crucial role in safeguarding public health. It involves testing water samples for various contaminants, such as anions, cations, heavy metals, organic contaminants, pesticides, PFAS and many more. Utilizing advanced analytical techniques and equipment, enables accurate detection and quantification of contaminants, ensuring that water meets regulatory standards.

Wastewater analysis
Wastewater analysis is essential for effective wastewater management and environmental protection. It involves evaluating the composition and quality of wastewater to identify potential pollutants from municipal or industrial discharge and assesses the impact on ecosystems. Allowing for the precise measurement of parameters like biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), nutrients, pharmaceutical and personal products (PPCP) and PFAS aiding in efficient wastewater treatment and compliance with regulatory requirements.
