Summer 2025 is expected to be one of the hottest on record. With rising temperatures comes a higher risk of bacterial contamination in bathing water. Lakes, rivers and beaches need to be monitored closely to protect public health and avoid costly closures.
Standard testing methods are often too slow. Results can take one or two days which leaves too much time for risks to spread. That’s why Suez has developed and validated a fast, reliable and simple protocol based on the Precellys Evolution Touch homogenizer.
This complete process enables the detection of viable Escherichia coli and Enterococcus spp bacteria in less than three hours after sampling. Based on mechanical lysis and quantitative PCR, it fully complies with European and American standards.
