Beaches, Rivers, Reservoirs, and More
Continuously monitor public water sources to issue timely beach closures and keep vulnerable populations safe from waterborne diseases.
Swimming in contaminated water can pose public health hazards, especially to children and the elderly. Individuals may be infected if contaminated beach water is accidentally consumed or comes into contact with open wounds.
Although most public beaches are required to undergo E. coli testing, standard detection methods take hours or days to complete. This delay makes it impossible to report E. coli levels on the same day the sample is collected, presenting challenges in ordering effective closures or alerts.
Even after contamination is identified, E. coli levels must be monitored daily to determine when it is safe to re-open the area. With current detection limitations, the water may be safe for days before the beach actually re-opens.
KRAKEN™ pathogen detection platforms can continuously monitor any water source for bacteria in real time. The KRAKEN™ uses rapid pathogen detection sensors to identify pathogens in just 60 minutes, ensuring closures can be issued immediately to reduce the health risks associated with bacterial contamination.
Our pathogen detection systems are easy to set up, only requiring WiFi/GSM network and power. With our fully autonomous water sampling capabilities, no sample preparation is required, ensuring critical water quality data is always available.
