WaterGiene for Healthcare WaterGiene is a super-enhanced test to detect total ATP in water, which is a critical indicator of total biologic activity resulting from microorganisms in healthcare water distribution systems.
WaterGiene is the most sensitive ATP water quality test due to enhanced reagent chemistry and superior bioluminescence detection on the Charm novaLUM instrument. WATERGIENE AT A GLANCE WaterGiene is useful for detecting: • ATP in Rinse Water • ATP in Water Storage Tanks • ATP on Cooling Towers (Water Economizers) • ATP in Dental Water •ATP in Potable Water • ATP in Deionized Purified Water
