TOXmini

The TOXmini is a state-of-the-art portable water toxicity analyzer, perfect for both laboratory and field applications. Designed for simplicity and precision, it automatically measures the luminescent effect of the Vibrio fischeri, quickly indicating potential toxicity in the water sample being tested.

With the flexibility of battery or mains operation and a high-resolution display, a memory capacity of 2000 test results and variable measuring times, TOXmini is a user-friendly portable analyzer that provides a modern and flexible solution to meet the dynamic needs of comprehensive water toxicity testing.

Equipped with an ultra fast single photon counter, TOXmini operates on microprocessor software, storing up to six user-specific measurement protocols. A spectral wave range of 380-630 nm ensures comprehensive analysis. Its technology enables the implementation of luminous bacteria toxicity tests, luminescence test evaluations, and the flexibility to analyze initial and final light intensity.

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.
