Coliform test
Industrial Test Systems, Inc. (ITS) announces a new, USEPA compliant method for presence/absence determination of Total Coliforms and E. coli in water – EZ Coliform Cult – MUG Test. Each test consists of a sterilized, ready-to-use 120 mL bottle containing a premeasured amount of growth media. To run the test users simply add the water sample, cap the bottle and then incubate at 35°C for 24 hours (or 25°C for 48 hours). The test works by detecting an enzyme produced by coliform bacteria and a specific enzyme produced by E. coli. If coliforms are present, the liquid sample will change from yellow to blue-green in color.

Differential pressure gauges
WIKA has introduced the air2guide family of differential pressure (DP) gauges. Designed to measure very low pressure ranges from 1" to 25" WC, the gauge has been optimized to provide significant installation time savings — over 50 percent compared to competitive systems. It has also been retrofitted to existing hole-patterns, eliminating the need for tools. The gauge features a two-part measuring system that separates the media from case components. Standardized case designs allow mechanical and electronic output configurations to use identical components and permit the replacement of only the measuring system. Another WIKA innovation is the ability to easily align the dial from the front of the gauge after the gauge has been installed.
