In the first blog in this three-part series, we looked at the rise in urban and wild swimming, the idea that people are thinking beyond their local beach for recreation and exploring local rivers, canals and docks: cities are becoming swimmable. Water quality in coastal areas has also come under increasing scrutiny in recent years from environmental groups and recreational users, highlighting the lack of transparency and reporting around pollution outbreaks. Here, we explore

bNovate launches BactoSense ID for automated monitoring of coliforms and enterococci in wastewater and bathing water, with results in under 60 minutes.

In the first of a three-part blog series, we’ll be taking a look at water quality and why it matters to the public, especially in light of the growing popularity of urban and wild swimming movements, but also with growing awareness from surfer-led campaign groups. The second blog will look at water quality in terms of regulations, the need for reuse, and reputational risk, while the third will examine how water quality concerns are driving technology advances in monitoring an

Cell counts tell you how many bacterial cells are present, but not whether the microbial community itself has changed. BactoScore adds microbial fingerprinting to water monitoring, helping operators spot unusual shifts and distinguish normal fluctuations from events that may require closer attention.

After Basel's Legionella outbreak linked to cooling towers, we look at why monthly compliance testing leaves a dangerous blind spot, and how continuous microbial monitoring closes the gap between drift and detection.

Pharmaceutical water testing often delivers microbiological results only after days. Learn how rapid intact cell counting can support faster process insight, investigations and contamination control in pharmaceutical water systems.
