SGS and AQUA-TOOLS are building a world business partnership to promote the use of our quantitative ATP-metry test kits as a biological indicator, for customer site audit and/or laboratory analysis.
The partnership between SGS and Aqua-tools has come into effect in December 2010 to create strong links between the two companies for worldwide business. SGS is Thanks to this partnership, SGS is going to integrate all the 8 different quantitative ATP-metry kits in their inspection and testing services.
The aim of this partnership is to respond to many major concerns in field work and/or in laboratory by using new tools for biological investigations. This would be a complement for regulatory and/or physic and chemical analyses.
Application Fields : Cooling tower water, Sanitary water, Potable water, Mineral Water, Industrial process water, Ultra-pure water, Biofilms, Petrol, Fuel and Bio-fuel, Metalworking fluids and lubricants, Cataphoresis baths, Waste water treatment plants, Methanogenesis, or Paints, Latex, Polymers emulsions.
Countries equipped with 2nd generation ATP-metry kits: Chile, Peru, Brazil, USA, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands, Poland, Germany, Finland, Greece , Czech Republic, Russia, RSA, Senegal, Nigeria, Kenya, Thailand, India, China, Korea, Taiwan, Australia , Singapore
::: Management of Legionella risk
- Integration of this new biological indicator during audits to secure cooling tower installations and optimize their performances.
- Mapping of sanitary networks and follow-up of water quality in health-care institutions: « Controlling water quality in a building is based on a global approach of risk management. Understanding water distribution facilities and causes of deterioration in the quality of water is a vital pre-requisite before implementing a strategy for management of water-quality risks ».

::: Prevent potable water quality deterioration
- Monitor production, storage and distribution of potable water.
::: Industrial process water
- Monitoring industrial process water quality by following-up microbial contamination of facilities including surface treatment.
::: WWTP and Environment
- Qualify coming influents in urban waste water treatment plants for a better knowledge of their impact on active biomass. The system has a major advantage for qualifying industrial wastewaters before joining urban network.
- Detect and classify toxicity or inhibitions occurring on active biomass, caused by molecules produced or used on industrial site.
::: Methanogenesis
- Evaluate the presence of toxic molecules in influents for anaerobic reactions and/or confirm the quality of the organic mix ready to be digested.
::: Follow-up of bio-contamination in fuel, bio-fuel, and metalworking fluids
- Quantify microorganisms in fuel, bio-fuel, and metalworking fluids.
Aqua-tools is a young innovating company, supported by Oséo Innovation, specialized in commercialization of ATP-metry kits for fast quantification of microorganisms.
Created in 2006, Aqua-tools has developed in France and in the EMEA zone an innovating and eco-friendly approach, intended to manage and prevent sanitary and industrial risks linked to water, bio-fuel and other organic fluids. Its products (2nd generation quantitative ATP-metry diagnostic kits) are designed for different types of customers and sectors (hospitals, social and medical institutions, industries, Waste water treatment plants, etc…)
SGS is the world leader for inspection, control, analysis and certification. Known as the world reference for quality and integrity, SGS is employing 64000 people, and is working with a network of more than 1250 offices and laboratories all over the world.
SGS France employs 2450 people in 90 offices, control centers and 26 laboratories. Services are available all along the supply chain and for every type of sector (food and agricultural products, pharmaceuticals, clinical research, cosmetics,consumer goods, energy, chemicals, environment, industrial services).

ASTM VALIDATIONS : QGO M™ kit for Fuel, Fuel/Water Mixtures and Metalworking Fluids
::: QGO M™ kit for Fuel, Fuel/Water Mixtures and Fuel-Associated Water
As of May 1st 2011, ASTM International has made available for download the new method designated D7687 (Standard Test Method for Measurement of Cellular Adenosine Triphosphate in Fuel, Fuel/Water Mixtures and Fuel-Associated Water with Sample Concentration by Filtration). To download the standard, visit ASTM’s website.
More information visit aqua-tools web site

::: QGO M™ kit for Metalworking Fluid management
Users focused on Metalworking Fluid management can also obtain a copy of standard E2694 (Standard Test Method for Measurement of Adenosine Triphosphate in Water-Miscible Metalworking Fluids), QGO M kit is fully compliant with both D7687 and E2694.
To download the standard, visit ASTM’s website.

QGO M™ is a trademark of LuminUltra (Canada)
Chicago – May 2011 : Liquitech and AQUA-TOOLS have signed an agreement for US market and Canada
Aqua-tools is increasing its fame on US market and in Canada, by promoting ATP quantification QGA kit, which is a biological indicator to follow active biomass concentration. Our methodology is used for performing a mapping of the whole installation and then to analyze all the different points of the network by comparing them to the « make-up water quality ».
Environment & Industry Catalogue 2011-2012
More clear, more friendly: the new Environment & Industry catalogue is now available. It’s giving you all the information you need about our new kits and new references including all the consumables necessary to perform 100 or 50 measurements. (Example: QGA Reload)

Terminal Water Filtration: Launch of FILT’RAY range
With the new « Health & Safety » activity, aqua-tools has become an innovating actor in the field of water filtration, The products, FILT’RAY shower and tap, are used to protect people against microorganisms present in water – Legionnella and total flora.
FILT’RAY products, designed for shower and tap water filtration, contain a hollow fiber microfiltration cartridge for removing all microorganisms whilst preserving organoleptic properties of water. The membrane of 0.1 µm is providing a sterilizing filtration.
FILT’RAY Data-Manager, 100 % tracking
Aqua-tools has developed FILT’RAY Datamanager, internet platform especially designed for double tracking of filters installed in health care establishments. The system includes automatic alerts for filter replacement and localization of water points-of-use.
2D-bar code reader allows automatic saving of results.
Monitoring of the quality of sanitary water networks using Quench-Gone Aqueous™ kit (QGA)
To face the compliance for monitoring of Legionella in production, storage and distribution facilities for hot water, think about the use of QGA technique to improve knowledge and control of your installation. Controlling water quality in a building is based on a global approach of risk management.
Understanding water distribution facilities and causes of deterioration in the quality water is a vital pre-requisite for implementing a strategy for management of water-quality risks.
Biological mapping of hospital water networks is an efficient method to identify critical points for biofilm development and Legionella proliferation in water networks. These points are critical for growth of pathogens. QGA™ kit for quantification of active microorganisms is a solution for monitoring quality of water, and for implementing corrective actions.
AQUA-TOOLS Company highlights
New Production & Logistics Center - Aubergenville (Yvelines- Ile de France)
In February 2011, aqua-tools has inaugurated a new center of 300m2, located near its headquarters in Flins-sur-seine. This new center allows us to increase our storage and delivery capacity for international orders.
