Detecting Low-Level Harmful Substances in a Large Volume of Fluid

There are many applications requiring the detection and concentration of harmful substances in a fluid; for example, detecting the presence and concentration of a microbial pathogen in a source of drinking water such as a lake, reservoir, river, stream, storage tank, water main, or well. Some harmful substances may be difficult to detect using conventional methods at lower concentrations. Certain microbial pathogens may be harmful to human health at concentrations that are too low to accurately, reliably, and economically detect using conventional methods.
