FAQ TOXmini

The luminescent bacteria used for the tests are Vibrio fischeri species, also known formally as Photobacterium phosphoreum. Vibrio fischeri is a marine organism, and consequently the fluid for these bacteria must be maintained at a salt concentration of 2%. Freeze-dried bacteria should be stored at -20°C in a freezer. In addition, during shipping/transportation, lyophilized bacteria must remain below 0°C. The cultures of luminescent bacteria can be stored by cooling in the luminescent bacteria test equipment at 5°C for one week without losing their sensitivity to pollutants.

The TOXmini, a user-friendly hand-held system designed to perform toxicity measurements on a wide range of samples and applications, has a memory capacity of 2000 points. By automatically measuring the luminescent effect of Vibrio fischeri, it provides a clear indication of toxicity in the test sample. This device is suitable for laboratory use. It can be combined with an optional cooling unit, and thanks to its built-in rechargeable batteries can be operated in the field. The data stored on the TOXmini can be downloaded to a PC using the appropriate connecting cable.
