Online Biomonitoring with bbe Toximeters
Toxicity tests are mainly based on the survival of organisms in
the presence of test material. Static tests permanently
expose the organisms to a series of dilutions over 24 or 48
hours. Dynamic tests, on the other hand, shorten the test procedure
and allow continuous monitoring of the water source. The
registration of complex behaviour patterns of the organisms
further reduces the response time for alarm evaluation.
Automatic unmanned surveillance is achieved by use of the
unique bbe alarm software thus reducing running costs. bbe
toximeter instruments are very reliable and require relatively
little maintenance.
Versions include the Algae Toximeter, the Daphnia Toximeter, the Fish Toximeter and the ToxProtect 64
