societeQGA™ - Quench-Gone™

Aqueous Formulation

How and Where is this product used?

Quench-Gone™ Aqueous (QGA™) test kits are designed to detect biological activity in most low-solids water streams. Use QGA to detect total microbiological activity in many types of waters, including:

  1. Surface Water
  2. Ground Water
  3. Potable Water
  1. Ultrapure Water
  2. Cooling Water
  3. Fire Water
  1. Papermaking
  2. Water Disinfection
  3. Wastewater

What do the results mean?

ATP is a critical component to all life on Earth. QGA products measure the total quantity of microbiological activity in any water stream through a single analysis. Use the real-time knowledge gained through QGA analyses to assess microbiological contamination to prevent process deterioration and optimize disinfection initiatives.

Detection Range

QGA test kits are optimized to detect between 500 and 667,000,000 microbial equivalents (i.e. fg ATP/mL) using standard procedures, depending on the volume of sample analyzed. Procedural adaptations can be used to amplify the low-range sensitivity, and to accommodate streams with large amounts of solids - these adaptations require additional equipment and alternate filtration types and improve detection by increasing filtration volume.
