ISO and US-EPA standardized methods are easy to perform but require solid specific training. In addition, quality controls are required to perform these methods with guarantees, including preparation, conservation, and validation of host and coliphage bacterial stocks. All this needs time, dedication, and training of personnel, which ultimately translates into high costs. Our Easy Kits contain all the necessary components to analyze samples in a matter of hours and obtain results after overnight incubation, following 12 simple steps.
