AquaVial Quick Check - Dental Unit Waterline test
- FAST RESULTS: This advanced nanotechnology works using microbial cell wall surface recognition. Visual detection of bacteria, fungi and biofilm in 15 minutes, allows for rapid corrective action. No more waiting for days for the results!
- EASY-TO-READ: The reagent changes color from Pink to Light Purple when bacteria is present at concentration of over 500 cells per ml (CFU/ml). The color chart included makes reading the results easy.
- ADA and CDC COMPLIANT: The test was designed specifically for use in dental offices, following CDC and ADA guidelines for detection limit - will detect bacteria and fungi, even in presence of biofilm, at concentrations over 500CFU/ml.
- CONSISTENT RESULTS: The test produces consistent responses to a specific microbial strain, regardless of the type of water tested, or the dental waterline cleaner used. The test uses a 20 ml sample, which ensures more reliable results compared with plate count methods that use less than 1 ml of sample.
- CONVENIENT: available in 3 and 12 pack sizes, in individually packed kits. Results can be conveniently recorded in the chart provided.
Why AquaVial Quick Check?
AquaVial Quick Check is an in-office waterline test kit, designed specifically for dental offices as a rapid screening method. It has been designed as a simple, convenient and economical tool to be used as an early warning system for the bacteria, fungi, and biofilm contamination that dental equipment is especially susceptible to. AquaVial Quick Check gives you the confidence that the water in your waterline is safe for patients and dental professionals.
It allows dental professionals to proactively address the challenges in maintaining waterlines free of biofilm and potentially dangerous pathogenic bacteria, especially during warm seasons or after a dental office closure.
How is AquaVial Quick Check different?
AquaVial Quick Check uses functionalized gold nanoparticle suspension that was designed specifically to interact with the cell membranes of harmful microorganisms and produce a colour change dependent on their concentration.
This eliminates the many limitations of HPC, including sample handling and transportation for lab testing, limited detection range, need for incubators, time to results, cost, and ease of use.
