How does Bactiquick work?
Collect a water sample, add it to the Bactiquick reagent, and place it in the handheld reader. In around 15 minutes, the device analyses the reaction and gives you a lab-grade endotoxin risk result on the spot — no lab, no courier, no days of waiting. Results sync via Bluetooth to the companion app so you can log, track and share them instantly.
What does Bactiquick detect?
Bactiquick screens for endotoxin, a marker released by Gram-negative bacteria, giving you an early-warning read on water quality risk. It's designed as a rapid screening tool to help you act sooner — not a replacement for full laboratory analysis — so you know exactly when a sample needs lab confirmation.
How accurate and reliable is Bactiquick?
Bactiquick has been validated by Campden BRI and developed from University of Plymouth research, with results published in three peer-reviewed journals. The handheld reader weighs just 226g and runs on a rechargeable 2500mAh battery good for around 10 tests per charge, so it performs consistently whether you're in the field or in a lab.
