EBPI Complete Water Assessment Packages

 

Genotoxic Water Assessment

water assessment labmultipipetterredEBPI has developed packages to provide researchers, regulators, waste water management facilities and concerned homeowners with the means to easily and reliably screen water sources for the presence and quantity of compounds that cause genotoxic and mutagenic effects. Although legislative regulation is starting to recognize the importance and effectiveness of testing water for these important sub chronic end points, we believe that our products provide proactive solutions for industrial professionals and everyday citizens to act ahead of the curve and test their own water. Many regulatory agencies have publicly endorsed the need to test for sub chronic and mixture effects which is beyond the analytical methods currently in place (COHIBA, OSPAR). Traditional analytical measurements do not account for synergistic effects from chemical mixtures and new research has highlighted the overabundance of uncharacterized chemical compounds being introduced into our water systems which easily overwhelm the capabilities of current methods in effective monitoring systems.  EBPI is committed to providing tools necessary for the job and will tailor analyses to fit all budgets. Our tests systems analyze the effects from complex compound mixtures of disinfection byproducts (DPBs), pharmaceutical metabolites or natural resource contamination on water quality after treatment methods.

We offer a number of services to test your water samples for genotoxicity and mutagenicity. Depending on the source and the information required, we will customize these service packages to suit your budget. Send us your water samples according to our submission guidelines and our laboratory will rapidly analyze your samples and provide you with a detailed report containing the results and interpretation from our team of professional toxicologists.

This package include analysis of up to 6 samples per plate at 4 different dilution levels in triplicate. Results will be returned to client 3 days after receipt of samples to EBPIlabs.

2. Complete Wastewater Genotoxicity Assessment package (1 sample $550.00 USD, up to 4 samples $750.00 USD)

Contains:

  1. 3µM filtration to sterilize water samples prior to testing
  2. Genotoxicity assessment of water samples using the UMU-Chromotest
  3. Mutagenicity assessment of water samples using the Muta-Chromoplate test for mutagenicity in unconcentrated samples 
  4. Advanced mutagenicity assessment of water sample employing EBPI’s Ames-Express™ bacterial strains sensitive to chlorinated organics, PAHs, nitrosamines and other water contaminants.

This package is carried out according to standard ISO procedures. Results will be returned to the client 14 business days after receipt of samples to EBPIlabs.

 

Benefits:

  • Combination of regulated assay protocols and novel tools that demonstrate increased sensitivity to some priority pollutants.
  • Direct screening of water sample, no preconcentration steps necessary
  • Detect genotoxic effects from contaminant mixtures
  • Reliable analysis of sub-chronic effects from effluent
  • Consultation support for data interpretation based on results.
  • Conforms to ISO 11350

 

Drinking Water

Contains:

  1. Sample preconcentration using SPE C18 cartridge.
  2. UMU-ChromoTest for genotoxicity assessment of water samples.

This package include analysis of up to 5 samples per plate at 4 different dilution levels run in triplicate. Results will be returned to client 3 days after receipt of samples to EBPIlabs.

2. Complete Drinking Water Genotoxicity Assessment package (1 sample $575.00 USD, up to 4 samples $800.00 USD)

Contains

  1. Sample preconcentration using SPE C18 cartridges
  2. Genotoxicity assessment of water samples using the UMU-Chromotest
  3. Mutagenicity assessment of water samples using the Ames-ISO 384 well procedure.
  4. Advanced mutagenicity assessment of water sample employing EBPI’s Ames-Express™ bacterial strains sensitive to chlorinated organics, PAHs, nitrosamines and other water contaminants.

This package is carried out according to standard ISO procedures. Results will be returned to the client 14 business days after receipt of samples to EBPIlabs. 

 

Benefits:

  • C18 cartridges trap and concentrate a wide range of trace organic compounds, drugs, metabolites, poly aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and aromatic amines.
  • Detects effects from extremely low analyte concentrations due to concentration step
  • Will detect mixture effects from combinations of compounds.
  • Consultation support for result interpretation based on results.

 

The packages offered at EBPIlabs are designed to provide genotoxicity assessments of water sources by using new products designed and manufactured at EBPI for research purposes only.  We can carry out the tests for you, help with data interpretation and recommend further analytical action should concerning levels of contamination be observed.
